Synopsis

Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue! is the fifth case file of the New York Times bestselling Origami Yoda series from Tom Angleberger!
 
Help us, Principal Rabbski. You're our only hope.
 
In their fight against FunTime, the tedious, elective-crushing test prep program, Origami Yoda and the Rebel Alliance have found powerful allies in unexpected places. But the allegiance of one mysterious, all-powerful figure remains to be seen: Principal Rabbski. She says she'll help the rebels—but how? The state standard tests are just a month away, and the FunTime Menace is as strong as ever.
 
With time running out, one rebel decides to take matters into her own hands. The code name for the rogue rebel? Princess Labelmaker! Convinced that the Alliance's case file will persuade Rabbski to join the rebellion, Princess Labelmaker steals it and delivers it right to the principal herself! Will the case file convert the principal . . . or bring about the Alliance's doom?
 
Includes Color Illustrations and Instructions for folding your own origami Leia and Luke.

Reviews

Gr 4–7—The students at McQuarry Middle School resume their battle against FunTime, the Orwellian-named test program purchased by the school district in an effort to raise test scores.

At McQuarrie Middle School, the war against FunTime (the euphemistically named standardized test-prep program) continues, but it seems the Origami Rebel Alliance’s previous victory may be short-lived. Despite Principal Rabbski’s promise to replace FunTime with extracurriculars, it’s still being shown in class! Desperate times call for desperate measures, and someone has decided to take matters into his or her own hand puppet. Princess Labelmaker makes her daring debut by stealing the rebels’ secret case file and giving it to the principal, an act that could prove their salvation or their demise. Plastered with Labelmaker’s commentary, the latest file offers insight into the nobility of the rebels’ cause and the self-serving designs of FunTime’s creators. This continues the characteristic spirit and humor readers have come to expect of the Origami Yoda series. In what may be their greatest challenge yet, Angleberger puts the Alliance to the test in more ways than one. But perhaps the greatest mystery of all is this: Just whose hand is behind Princess Labelmaker? HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: These books are more popular than a working droid on Tatooine. Expect the usual army of young Jedis to come out swinging for a copy. Grades 4-6. --Julia Smith
