Yep! It’s a pickle!!!! This is the REAL cover for Book 6.
As for the Other BIG NEWS… I’m writing Return of the Jedi for Lucasfilm! My reaction to the news is here…
A lot of people are asking me about this being the LAST BOOK in the series.
Well, yes… sort of like Return of the Jedi was the last book in the original Star Wars trilogy.
Remember, there’s always room for sequels, prequels, spin-offs and holiday specials!

JUST IMAGINE THE FOOD PUNS. “Now young Skyburger you will fry… Deep fried…”

Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus will feature Star Wars trilogy star Emperor Palpatine…but this evil, old, wrinkly emperor won’t be origami! After successfully fighting to save the 7th grade field trip in Book Five, Tommy and the gang prepare for a well-earned day of fun and frolic …But of course it won’t be that easy! Field trips are full of temptations, scandals, betrayals and sugar highs. Trouble starts even before they leave school, when Principal Rabbski decrees that the field trip be an “origami-free zone.” Dwight secretly folds a Yoda from a Fruit-Roll-Up, but will he be a match for the sour, hate-filled, emperor that Harvey makes from a slice of pickle and black paper he snuck?

Oops. Sorry. Not trying to spam. Tom, can you delete the other 2 I posted?
SFCPHP
Thanks.

Woah. Tom this is truly one of the most creative covers yet and I’m sad that it has to be the last. I remember like it was yesterday that my librarian told me that I should look that The Strange Case of Origami Yoda in the book fair. I read the first page and I knew I was buying it. When I saw that there was going to be a Darth Paper book. WOW. I was excited. It’s been 4 years now that I have spent a lot of my time on origami Star Wars books. And now the 6th and final book is coming out. You have made some amazing books and I am proud to be a super folder. Thanks for the great books tom.

SF_Gavin
Is the return of the jedi book going to be a sort of junior novelization
TomAngleberger
I am writing the book so that EVERYBODY 4th grade and up should be able to read it. (And maybe really smart third graders) And I hope teenagers and adults read it. There should be plenty in it for them, too!
SF_Gavin
Cool
Jessenia
When is the contest winners gonna be announced, and while is already in the aknowledments?
Wiztron
We thought of that when you said we didn’t! (Not the pun, just…)
JediWiseSebby
OMIGOSH IT’S THE EMPEROR! Sorry… Just REALLY excited!! And the name- Emperor Pickletine? Stooky!! Although, I wonder who will wield this villainous sith food item… I would usually suspect Harvey, but then again, he seems to have softened up a little and I think I know Harvey’s crush… it’s Sara. Isn’t it obvious? He sometimes posts actual NICE comments on her stories, was nicer to her about the Fortune Wookiee than he was with Dwight and Origami Yoda, and in the masterpiece ‘The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett’ after Kellen’s chapter about Rhondella he said: ‘Don’t worry, I’m not going to say anything nasty this time because I have been in a similar situation myself and it really… nostruls.’ The similar situation was Sara and Tommy! No wonder he’s so mean to Tommy.. Tommy’s stealing his crush!
Wiztron
It IS Harvey! Just read the Amazon description!
TomAngleberger
Sounds like you’ve about got it figured out!
TheYoda
No, I think Harvey likes Jennifer.
ChiefEwokLabelmaker
I had a feeling it would be the emperor! This will be a day long remembered! Yub Nub!
