This is the blockbuster bestselling Origami Yoda series, written by Tom Angleberger, author of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side, showcasing his proven knack for authentically capturing the intrigues, fads, and dramas of middle school in “a satisfying tale of friendship and just resistance to authority” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).



Praise for Art2-D2's Guide to Folding and Doodling
"Once again, Angleberger’s humor, which presents itself in the text through characters from the series, in both human and origami form, connects with middle-grade readers. 'Art2' and the other 'Origami Yoda' books are the ultimate example of the by-a-fan/for-the-fans format, which succeeds if executed properly. This did he.”
Florida Times-Union

"
Excellent activity-book offshoot of Angleberger’s bestselling Origami Yoda series… The banter and tongue-and-cheek humor of the previous books is present, along with encouragement."
Publishers Weekly

"The presentation’s offbeat attitude, ingenuity, and wit, many libraries will want to stock this high interest book..."
Booklist

"Fans (and nonfans, if there are any) of the “Origami Yoda” series (Abrams) and website will find new opportunities aplenty for foolery in this spinoff compendium of progressively challenging hands-on instructions for drawing, folding, and goofing around with (mostly) Star Wars characters."

hey Tominator, what would you do if Kylo Ren moved into your house?

Considering Kylo always smashes up a wall or something when he gets angry, he would probably want to have some really good insurance.

I would just use an invisibility cloak and full time stalk him in case he was planning to kill me,or I would just avoid him and his crazy lightsaber.

I love this book I made everything.

does it really take more than 48 hours to get an account on origamiyoda.com

I think it does. It's actually a legal formality or something like that...

Tom i have read all but 1 book in the origami yoda books... that the princess labelmaker to the rescue

Thanks! Hope you read PL someday!

Tom, how can I send you my Kawahata Yoda? I've memorized the instructions for it!

hey tom, why do you not have an address to your house on your wed page? A: is it because you don't want fans knocking on your door all the time. B: is it because you like your location secret or... C: you don't know.

I dont think ANYBODY should have their home address out on the internet. Too many trolls, weirdos, etc...

Tom, i got an account on origami yoda and have been waiting for it since friday do you think i will be in today sometime?

Yes even though I'm not tom

yes i did get it art-2d2. just my mom needs to get her signature sent. oh and by the why i made my own vulture droid and BB-8 so check they out when i get my account activated.

Tom, do you like led zeppelin songs?

Well, Stairway of course. And a few others. Not really my thing, though.

Who believes in the new Mega Evolution 4 Mewtwo I saw it in Pokkén Tournament and I think that MMewtwoZ is basically confirmed
