Description

Clandestine e-mail exchanges, secret trips, fake press releases, and a tree-house standoff are among the clever stunts and pranks the kid heroes pull in this exciting ecological adventure.

Sibley Carter is a moron and a world-class jerk, reads Julian Carter-Li in an angry e-mail message meant for his greedy, high-powered uncle. The fateful message sets him on the course to stop an environmental crime! His uncle's company plans to cut down some of the oldest California redwood trees, and it's up to Julian and a ragtag group of friends to figure out a way to stop them. This thrilling, thoughtful debut novel shows the power of determined individuals, no matter what their age, to stand up to wrongdoing.

Operation Redwood has received accolades such as the John and Patricia Beatty Award (California Library Association), National Green Earth Book Award, National Outdoor Book Award honorable mention, and the Carol D. Reiser Book Award.
