Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett (Origami Yoda)

By Tom Angleberger

Cool book!! In the 4th book of the Origami series, you will find out Mr. Howell's secrets and will see the rebel's actions. How will they ever be able to fully demolish the school's horrible learning system? I would recommend this for ages 9+ i liked this book a lot but it wasn't as good as the other ones. The pace sort of lagged and some parts of the book were boring. This might be the worst book in the series.
