About the book: Book #5 in the Origami Yoda Book series. The students at McQuarrie Middle School continue their rebel alliance against the Fun Time tutoring program the school district is piloting to help raise standardized test scores. The students have lost all special area classes and must sit in the tutoring sessions watching a video of a dancing calculator Gizmo and Professor Fun Time. At first they are fighting the principal, but soon come to realize the battle is much bigger than her. Ms. Rabbiski is given the Princess Labelmaker puppet and is enlisted into the fight. She helps the students fight the school board and superintendent. Origami Yoda continues to give great advice to the rebels. At the end the special areas are returned and Fun Time is suspended. Unfortunately, the battle may not be over since Ms. Rabbiski resigns as the principal and plans to be a teacher the next school year. Who will the school district get to run the school? Will the rebels still need to battle for their rights to free will?
