Even myyear old daughter loves this series, as well as my pickyyear old son, Great for all ages and the parents in the way it addresses ways kids can work together to solve their problems, Another fantastic addition to the series! I especially loved Kellen's case file about his book report! HELP US, PRINCIPAL RABBSKI, YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE.

Nice wrap up to the FunTime saga,,The math reminds of common core it is horrible I hate it! If you ask " how do u do math" to the people who made it will say " draw a box.
" Yeah In every day life you can just get a paper and draw it out of the blue get a reality check common core,
To First off, I'd like to add a disclaimer that I'm several years older than the target audience for this series, which I would estimate to beyear olds.
Nevertheless, these books resonate with me deeply as a throwback to middle school years and I enjoy them more than most of the angsty paranormal/romance/action/dystopia/insertcurrenttrendhere novels on YA shelves today.

I personally thought this was the best in the series so far, I LOVE the Funtime plot, much more than the plots of the first couple books, My middle school placed way too much emphasis on standardized tests, in fact entry into my school required students to get a certain score or higher on state tests.
Students would always be comparing scores and it wasn't uncommon for seventh graders to be taking the SAT, and almost everyone was doing some sort of SAT/ACT prep.

I do realize that this isn't a typical middle school experience, but most students are subject to standardized testing and could probably relate to this sort of storyline.

Even in high school, teachers often play videos Khan Academy, anyone or have us take notes from the textbook instead of actually teaching, But at least we don't have singing cartoon calculators :

As for Murky's sexual orientation, . . I actually didn't see that coming, even though I did think it was a bit odd he chose a female character for his origami last book, and that he'd keep mentioning how the aforementioned character was married to Harvey's character.
ers here are saying that it's unnecessary, but what about Quavondo's chapter on pigging out on meat, or James Suervo's chapter on LuckyYucky, or the entire Crab Soccer storyline At least now there is a plotthe first book was just a collection of vignettes containing evidence for Origami Yoda's existence, and almost any of the stories could've been deleted without much harm to the book.

In fact, I think Murky's

chapter was necessary, When I was in middle school, no popular books aimed towards my age had LGBT characters none I can think of, anyway, When my friend came out, I had no idea what to do,
For those of you saying it's inappropriate for second or thirdgraders, these books aren't targeted to kids that young there's dating and some curse words covered up by symbols!amp.
Disregarding that, there are LGBT kids at ANY age, They are born LGBT, and so I just don't see how this is "inappropriate, "
I will miss these kids when this series ends, Excellent series to show the value of friendship, cooperation, and the power of peaceful protests, So good, the commentary on testing should be read by teachers and parents, Sadly, I think a lot of kids miss the biting nature of EduFun, because it is their world as they know it,

Now, the Murky story line, I felt it came out of left field, It was short, never felt like we had a good resolution, and thrown in, almost like the author is trying to keep this out of younger readers' hands.
I don't care if the character is gay, i care if he adds to the story, I care if it changes the characters, I don't care about his shirt,

By now, the series is getting a bit repetitive, However, the play off of Star Wars is ingenious, This book is all about test prep and the push for improved test scores, The satire in at least this installment of the series makes me think it was written for adults as much as it was for children, My favorite out of the series, I love that it's the kids against standardized testing, Author and illustrator Tom Angleberger continues his perfect record with Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue, the fifth installment of his excellent Origami Yoda series, Misfit Dwight Tharp, his origami finger puppet and surefire oracle Yoda, and the rest of the Ralph McQuarrie Middle School gang are back to continue their Origami Rebellion Alliance.


For those new to the series, the dataobsessed Principal Rabbski has eliminated drama, art, chorus, music, and some sports at to make room for Fun Time a stultifying video program to drill the seventhgraders in math for the endyear highstakes tests, complete with a rapping Professor Fun Time and a cartoon dancing, rapping calculator.
The Fun Time Menace, as its dubbed by Origami Yoda, is even more stultifying and ridiculous than you can imagine, While the ending is a bit improbable, youll find yourself cheering and enjoying every moment, Adults, who can remember those awkward years, will laugh louder and enjoy these books even more than its target audience,

And if you can listen to Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue as an audiobook, youll find the same wonderful cast of narrators as the four previous novels.
While youll miss out on the wonderful illustrations, the immediacy is worth it, The Good: This book nicely resolves all the threads that were left hanging by the last entry's cliffhanger ending, It's also good to see a principal who actually goes out on a limb for her students, not just some evil headmaster/headmistress who couldn't care less about the student body.
Not only that, but, Christian faith was mentioned and not bashed in this one,

The Bad: Why did the author feel the need to mention that a student was gay, and why would wearing a pink shirt make him that way I've known completely heterosexual guys who wore that color in high school, a male friend of mine wore a pink polo shirt, and a female classmate applauded him, saying, "It takes a real man to wear pink!" Sure, middle school students will use pretty much anything to accuse you of being homosexual, but to make him actually that way instead of just thought to be that way was unnecessary.
.stars.

The Origami Rebellion is underway, and Princess Labelmaker has joined the fight, Her comments, written on label maker tape to disguise her handwriting and protect her identity, lead us to believe she holds the key to vanquishing the FunTime menace.
But who is she, really And can she be trusted once the case file goes missing and all fingers and finger puppets point to her

This book focuses almost exclusively on the battle against FunTime and the fight to restore curricular activities.
I love the message relating to the shortcomings of standardized testing, but I wondered if it was too steep and issue for childrens literature, The theme of the Origami Yoda series is learning to celebrate individuality and to use each others strengths for group success, Both Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue and The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett deviate from the episodic stories weve come to love, and in doing so loses focus on the development of each character.
I really missed those personal stories and hope to see a strong return in the last installment of the Origami Yoda series,
