Part of Origami Yoda, book 3
First published 2012
Tommy stares at his empty case file notebook. With Dwight suspended from McQuarrie Middle School, origami Yoda has vanished too. No mysterious paper puppet means no cases to investigate and nothing interesting to document. Then Sara arrives with something unexpected from Dwight: a Fortune Wookiee. This paper fortune teller shaped like Chewbacca dispenses advice that rivals Yoda's wisdom. Tommy teams up with Kellen and Harvey to investigate this new mystery. Their classmates begin reporting strange encounters with Dwight around town, but these sightings reveal a boy without his beloved Yoda who acts unnaturally normal. Tommy faces two puzzles that might connect. As the trio digs deeper into both the Fortune Wookiee's powers and Dwight's peculiar behavior, they uncover clues suggesting origami Yoda might return to their school.
