The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger! Huzzah! I liked it. My Review went up in November.
Exciting! Yay for Origami Yoda! Weird about the YA Fantasy choice, though ... strange that the judges picked one that they had objections to. Ah well. Yay for Origami Yoda! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat? What objections? I don't remember hearing about this...
ReplyDeleteOh, just reading the review of it written by the round-2 judges. "We loved Benny’s growth as a person, though his deep hatred of Tom at the beginning seemed forced." Then later, "...and a strong sense of morality that adds depth to the story, only rarely feeling heavy-handed."
ReplyDeleteJust seemed funny for them to be giving it an award while at the same time criticizing some things about it.
