Main Story (1):

‘Is Origami Yoda Real?’ Is the starting question of the first book in the series? Dwight, who is anti normal, makes a finger puppet of Yoda, and even did his horrible Yoda impression. Of course, Harvey, official loud mouth, makes fun of him from the start. But, with a lot of luck (Or force?) he begins predicting the future, and getting answers to questions that weren’t asked yet.

When Tommy gets the chance of a lifetime, or demise, he needs everyone’s story to make a decision.  So everyone, including Tommy, put forth stories, and he grades them all. The Good, The Bad And the Funny all make there appearances, and Tommy decides to go for it and take origami yoda’s advice, until:

Book Two:  Darth Paper! When Harvey makes Darth paper to combat Yoda! He causes everything to fall down, and then tries to kill origami yoda. Fortunately, back up origami yoda has a plan…. Another group of stories to save origami yoda, and Dwight, from the school board. But while trickery makes the school tremble the real threat was Principal Rabbiski, whose had it up to the gills with origami.

She throws out the majority of the clone army, and suspensions Tommy, and then tries to win the students over and put herself in power… WITH A PIZZA PARTY! Unfortunately, it fails badly, and the students like her worse than ever, and the principle looses. But Dwight gets sent of to private school, and gets to be in the same class as HIS GIRLFRIEND! It’s all well and good for him, but boredom city for the students at his school.

Book Three: Wookies and Han Foldos: The saviors! Origami yoda’s replacement, and Harvey’s new bone of contention, is a fortune wookie and it’s translator, Han Foldo.  With a line of students waiting, each one has a new story to tell. But when Dwight begins turning ‘normal’, it’s up to everyone, including Harvey, to get him back.

 Of course, its not only origami what’s happening at middle school, as Rabbiski make’s her own army to combat the origami….  The Anti-Non-School Patrol of P.e.w.s, Perfect in Every Way students, called A.N.S.P.E.W.S. Troopers by the origami. But when The Annual Celebration Fun Night (A.K.A. The “Hypno Room”) happens, and Tommy and everybody are ‘captured’ and brought to detention, and it’s all up to Harvey to avoid the A.N.S.P.E.W.S. Troopers and get into the “Hypno Room”, He decides it’s time to lift the mask off Darth Paper, revealing Anikin Skyfolder! He makes it into the “Hypno Room” and sabotages the performance. Dwight gets convinced to come back, and it was all good until….
