Tom Angleberger offre un''originale rivisitazione dell''episodio VI di Star Wars, "Il ritorno dello Jedi", terzo film in ordine di produzione della saga fantascientifica ideata e scritta da George Lucas. Luke Skywalker è tornato al suo remoto pianeta natale Tatooine nel tentativo di strappare il suo amico Han Solo dalle grinfie del malvagio bandito Jabba the Hutt, ma Luke non sa che l''Impero ha iniziato in gran segreto la costruzione di una nuova stazione spaziale corazzata ancora più potente della temuta Morte Nera. Una volta completata, quest''arma risolutiva segnerà la fine del pugno di ribelli che lottano per restituire la libertà alla galassia.

Lyle Hertzog and his friends Marilla and Dave are the Qwikpick Adventure Society, three kids who seek out big adventures in their seemingly quiet hometown of Crickenburg. Tour a sewage plant? They’ve done it. Break into an abandoned research facility to spot a rat with a human face? Check. But their third exploit just might be their most daring yet. Local legend has it that a slave master was buried standing up in the plantation’s family tomb. Why? So that he could continue overseeing his slaves—even in death! When the Qwikpickers hear about this, they decide it’s high time to administer some 200-year-overdue justice and knock him down. Mission Kick a Corpse is on.

Praise for Art2-D2''s Guide to Folding and Doodling "Once again, Angleberger''s humor, which presents itself in the text through characters from the series, in both human and origami form, connects with middle-grade readers. ''Art2'' and the other ''Origami Yoda'' books are the ultimate example of the by-a-fan/for-the-fans format, which succeeds if executed properly. This did he." --Florida Times-Union "Excellent activity-book offshoot of Angleberger''s bestselling Origami Yoda series... The banter and tongue-and-cheek humor of the previous books is present, along with encouragement." --Publishers Weekly "The presentation''s offbeat attitude, ingenuity, and wit, many libraries will want to stock this high interest book..." --Booklist "Fans (and nonfans, if there are any) of the "Origami Yoda" series (Abrams) and website will find new opportunities aplenty for foolery in this spinoff compendium of progressively challenging hands-on instructions for drawing, folding, and goofing around with (mostly) Star Wars characters." --School Library Journal
