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).

      Gr 3-7-At McQuarrie Middle School, severe measures are put in place to get test scores up. All extracurricular activities (sports, drama, music, field trips) are cancelled so that students can spend the year learning from the "Fun Time Education System," a silly animated video with worksheets. Using advice from a finger puppet, the kids organize a rebellion using persuasion, math, and origami Star Wars finger puppets, as the plot moves to a satisfying conclusion. Like the "Wimpy Kid" series, the text of the print version (Abrams, 2013) is enhanced with illustrations, doodles, and origami instructions. The audio version deprives listeners of those additions. Seven actors excellently narrate-their voices are perfect for their roles-but the pauses between chapters or journal entries are too long and sound like dead air. This audiobook will keep avid fans interested, but someone unfamiliar with the series will be confused about the many characters and the origami finger-puppet aspect. Grab the print version first.-Debbie Whitbeck, West Ottawa Public Schools, Holland, MI
