The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee is the third book in the Origami Yoda series by Tom Angleberger. With Dwight suspended from McQuarrie Middle School, there is no Origami Yoda to guide the students. However, a new origami figure, the Fortune Wookiee, appears as a gift from Dwight and seems to provide equally insightful advice. Tommy, Kellen, and Harvey take on the case, investigating strange Dwight sightings and working to solve the mystery behind the Fortune Wookiee. As they get closer to the truth, the possibility of Origami Yoda's return grows.
