The Secret of the Fortune Wookie
The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee: An Origami Yoda Book
by Tom Angleberger
Paperback - Exclusive Format & Price - $5.99
With Dwight attending Tippett Academy this semester, the kids of McQuarrie Middle School are on their own, with no Yoda to help them navigate the treacherous waters of middle school. Then Sara gets a gift from Dwight: a cootie catcher in the form of Chewbacca. It's a Fortune Wookiee, and it seems to give just as good advice as Yoda, even if, in the hands of the girls, it seems too preoccupied with romance. In the meantime, Dwight is fitting in at Tippett a little too well, and it's up to his old friends at McQuarrie to remind their buddy that it's in his oddness that his greatness lies.

another creates electricity,
...and now it’s your turn?
Mibs Beaumont is about to become a teenager. As if that weren’t scary enough, thirteen is when a Beaumont’s savvy strikes--and with one brother who causes hurricanes and another who creates electricity, it promises to be outrageous... and positively thrilling.

Suddenly, Mibs’s dreams of X-ray vision disappear like a flash of her brother’s lightning: All she wants now is a savvy that will save Poppa.

But when the bus starts heading in the wrong direction only one thing is certain: After this extraordinary adventure, not a soul on board will ever be the same.
