    S. Terrell French grew up near Washington, D.C., and spent her summers running barefoot in the forest. She graduated from Harvard College and Berkeley Law, and once spent two months as a Forest Service volunteer at Misty Fiords National Monument in Alaska. She currently lives with her husband and three children in the very foggiest part of San Francisco.

    OPERATION REDWOOD follows the adventures and misadventures of four children as they try to save a grove of old-growth redwoods. The book won the national 2009 Green Earth Book Award for Children's Fiction and the California Library Association's John and Patricia Beatty Award. It was also chosen by the Library of Congress as one of two children's books to represent the literary heritage of California at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. School Library Journal calls OPERATION REDWOOD "[f]ast paced and full of fun" and SLJ blogger Betsy Bird praised it as "one of the finest children's novels of the year. . . . [A] true emotional journey full of adventure, friendship, complex morality, trust, lies, and discovery. You believe in this book and you believe in the characters."

Terrific book about saving the redwoods which can be stretched to many kinds of saving trees. I am 78, and even though it is written for the 10+year olds, I loved it. It keeps you reading, for the next happening. I have given it to my granddaughter.

saving the last stand becomes a lifesaving event for the hero of this story...and a bridge home.The heor's mom is a non-traditional mom and not much is made of that. his grandmother a reporter..I like that cause I was one too. His homelife, not so cool. Friends, diverse. There is MUCH to like about all the varying threads to the storyline..to say nothing about saving those trees.

This item was a gift for my 9-year-old son. He is in 3rd grade, reading at a 4th grade reading level and I was looking to expand his reading library past the old books he has grown out of. This item seems to fit our needs perfectly! I think that it will hold his interest when he starts reading it!

3.0 out of 5 stars French Sees the Forest for the Trees
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2011
Operation Redwood is a great kids adventure-- all about rebellion and standing up for what is right. It is also interwoven with some serious issues around logging and forest conservation. This grounding in the reality of the battle between corporate greed and the preservation of nature, and its fairly accurate portrayal of how this battle has played out in Northern California makes Operation Redwood not only a fun read for kids, but also helps teach some important lessons about what's happening in the world around us.
