Synopsis

Dark times have fallen on McQuarrie Middle School. Dwight's back - and not a moment too soon, as the gang faces the FunTime Menace: a new educational program designed to raise students' standardized test scores. Instead, it's driving everyone crazy with its obnoxious videos of Professor FunTime and his insidious singing calculator! When Principal Rabbski cancels the students' field trip - along with art, music, and LEGO classes - to make time for FunTime, the students turn to Origami Yoda for help. But some crises are too big for Origami Yoda to handle alone: Form a Rebel Alliance the students must. United, can they defeat the FunTime Menace and cope with a surprise attack from Jabba the Puppett? With this latest episode in the explosively popular Origami Yoda series, Tom Angleberger proves once again that he "has his finger puppet squarely on the erratic pulse of middle-school life" (Washington Post).

About Tom Angleberger

Tom Angleberger ("Rise of the RoboShoes™") began writing his first novel in eighth grade, but never completed it. Since then, he’s been a newspaper reporter and columnist, a juggler, a weed boy, a lawn-mower-part assembler, and a biology research assistant. This bestselling author insists he’s not really all that creative—"I’m more of a puzzle-putter-together."

Goodreads review by Seth on October 04, 2024

"The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppet" is a fun ride for fans of the Star Wars universe, packed with clever references and a healthy dose of nostalgia. The plot, while a bit predictable at times, delivers some entertaining twists that keep you engaged. The cliffhanger at the end had me genuinely......more

Goodreads review by Ivonne on June 05, 2016

According to Tom Angleberger’s website, before becoming a successful author and illustrator, he was a journalist and a biology research assistant. Nowhere in his bio does it say that he was a teacher. This I do not believe: There is no way that Angleberger would be able to so accurately portray the......more
