The Body in the Woods is a darker mystery because it about 3 kids who find a dead body in the woods. It a pretty strait forward title. So they go on the hunt for the kill. 3 girls die before they find the killer. Read the book to find out who killed the girls.
A similaritie is that both book have a character who doesn't fit in with everybody. Dilwight from origami yoda and Ruby, Alixes, and Nick from The Body in the Woods. Diilwight isn't the one who made origami and before that he was weird. He would were his underwear out of his pant like a super hero and ask people to call him Captain Dilwight. Ruby had a lot of ideas and loved to explore, but never know how to fit in. Nick as a self confidence problem and Alexis covering for her moms illness.
So that enough about similarities how about some thing that are different. Well like I saided before The Body in the Wood is a dark mystery with death. Origami yoda is a light hearted story for kids. In origami yoda there is just one person try to figure out the mystery, but in The Body in the Wood there are three kid try to solve the mystery. The Body in the Wood as a lot more twist and turn to make it more exciting. Origami yoda only as about one twist. So that my compare and contrast on origami yoda and The Body in the Wood.
