Dark times have fallen on McQuarrie Middle School, in this fourth book in the series that began with The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. Fortunately, Dwight's back—and not a moment too soon—as Kellan, Sara, and the gang face a new menace: the FunTime Educational Program. FunTime is supposed to raise students' test scores; instead, it's driving everyone at McQuarrie crazy with videos starring the obnoxious Professor FunTime and his insidious singing calculator. When Principal Rabbski cancels field trips, art classes, and music classes to make room for more FunTime, the students turn to Origami Yoda for help. His suggestion: "Form a Rebel Alliance, you must." This outrageously entertaining combination of diary, sketchbook, and puppet-making for readers 8 to 11 includes instructions for folding a paper Jabba the Puppett and an Ewok.
