Origami Yoda series.
The FunTime Menace (a deadly boring test prep program) is still wreaking havoc at McQuarrie Middle School in the sixth book in the series. The only way to abolish FunTime is to get Principal Rabbski on the side of the Rebellion, but the Origami Rebel Alliance will have to risk everything to win her over. Angleberger continues to develop authentic and engaging voices in these "case files."

Origami Yoda series.
McQuarrie Middle School's test scores have gone down, and Principal Rabbski is taking away electives in favor of math basics, delivered through a mind-numbing video series called FunTime. Dwight, Tommy, and friends form a scheme to get rid of the "FunTime Menace" by enlisting students to commit to failing the test. Playful cartoon drawings and pop culture references abound.
