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."

Hi Tom your books are absolutely amazing and I absolutely love reading them and wa wondering if you have any plans on continuing the series P.S. You should definitely continue the series.

Hey 2187! Thanks a lot!! Right now there are no plans to continue the series.... but I am writing LOTS of new books, including Rocket and Groot!

Hey Tom, if Disney decides to make books of the Prequel trilogy, would you be on board to write any of them?

Maybe they would let me write some books based on The Clone Wars!

hi tom

Hi tom, I'm a big fan of your books and I've got two suggestions for you. First, you should make separate origami star wars books that show u how to fold many different characters. Second thing is that you should also make some complex origami because I am really really good at origami and I find it easy to make the origami in your books. By the way, go on YouTube and look up complex 3D origami yoda by Jo Nakaski. I made the yoda in the video. If you need help making origami, you can see tutorials on YouTube. BYE!!!!!!! :-)

Sounds like you might be better than me at Origami!!! Have you tried the more advanced origami in Chris Alexander's Star Wars Origami?

i haven't read this book yet... BUT it is the talk-zone now! and that's awesome! so anybody talkin yet? ;-;

I'm talking! (But then again, I'm always talking...)
