TOM ANGLEBERGER writes wonderful books.
I love the Origami Yoda series. Angleberger's books are just about perfect. Funny and yet sensitive, my boy and I have just howled at the drawings, and had discussions about the attitudes of some of the characters. These books are for upper-elementary aged children on up.
