"Sibley Carter is a moron and a worldclass jerk." When Julian Carter-Li intercepts an angry e-mail message meant for his greedy, high-powered uncle, it sets him on the course to stop an environmental crime! His uncle’s company plans to cut down some of the oldest remaining California redwood trees, and it’s up to Julian and a ragtag group of friends to figure out a way to stop them. This fantastic debut novel, full of clever stunts and pranks, shows the power of determined individuals, no matter what their age, to stand up to wrongdoing. And it introduces readers to a memorable cast of characters—smart kids who care about the world around them.Rating Of Books Operation Redwood

I wonder if contemporary childrens authors ever look at the writers of the past and think to themselves, It was easier then. You could get away with so much more. Morality, at least in retrospect, was so clear cut and uncomplicated in the books of the past. You could have a kid defeat a great big villain with relative simplicity and folks wouldnt object at all. Or maybe not. Thats how we think of old childrens books... as simple. But when you try to sit down and think of all the realistic novelsThere is not a single thing I didn't like about this book. Some might complain that it started off rather slow but I live for slow contemporary starts, I like getting to know every little detail about the main character and their friends.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. After spending many summers camping in the redwood forests in Northern California, I became a volunteer at the Visitor Center in Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt County. This book is well written, gives factual information about the coastal redwoods and reminds us to protect these majestic trees for future generations,
Fuse #8 review: "one of the finest children's novels of the year." Super fun and true to its characters in a sort of Pinkwater way, though way more grounded and less wacky. And San Francisco!
A fun book about conservation for kids - featuring a boy main character. What's not to like here!?Recommended for 4th - 6th grade
Julian Carter Li is miserable. While is mother is in China taking pictures of Buddhist Temples for a grant she was awarded, he is stuck with his rich aunt and uncle.

To try and improve his behavior his aunt decides to set up a point system that rewards good behavior. Unfortunately for Julian, no matter how hard he tries his points keep going backwards and now they are in the
Julian Carter-Li has been staying with his aunt and uncle for the past few weeks while his mother is in China. It is very clear to him that they don't want him there, though he gets along quite well with his younger cousin Preston. When Julian finds himself alone for several hours in his uncle's office, he notices first an email with his name as the subject, and then an irresistible email just below it. Although he knows he shouldn't, he can't help but read them, which is how he learns that his
