Operation Yes

Operation Yes by Sara Lewis Holmes

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Did not expect to like this book since I thought it had to do with military life. However it is less about military than life in a school with an inspiring new teacher, Ms Loupe. Students living on base and going to a dilapidated old school learn about improv theater and cover their sixth grade curriculum until tragedy strikes their teacher's family. Students then use what they have learned to pull together and create a huge project to raise money for wounded soldiers. A good story to lead to discussions about relationships, consequences, and how families cope with members in the military.

Recommend to grades 5-8.
