Summary:
(Plan A, B, and C!)
While Bo is planning on a new school year without trouble in
North Carolina, Gari is spending her time helping out her
best friend on their campaign in Seattle, when her mother,
an army nurse, has been called to Iraq! She is forced to
move in with her cousin Bo, who is having problems of his
own with a crazy new teacher, Miss Loupe! At this rate,
he’ll never be good enough, and see the Flying Farmer with
his dad, the general. The two of them, along with their good
friends, Melissa and Trey, have fun, in a creative way, which
also helps wounded soldiers in need. Read how these four
kids, and eventually, their school, city, and people from all
over the country learn what’s important in life.
Operation YES:
The Mission
Operation YES, was made by Bo, Gari, Melissa,
and Trey. They came up with the idea to
help Miss Loupe feel better (SPOILER), and
to show what was really important. They
pledged, to fill their school with 100,000
little green men, or LGM (Plastic!). BUT, it
was others who bought the LGM, and for
everyone bought, they would donate $1 to
wounded soldiers. To learn more about
Operation YES, read the book!
