MCBA Project #4 by Madeline

I think that the theme of the book Operation Redwood is teamwork. Julian and Danny were working together throughout the book. Danny helped Julian come up with a plan to get him to Robin's house, and he wrote a letter to her parents to take him back when Julian was taken away by his evil Aunt Daphne. Also, it wasn't just Julian, Danny, Robin, Molly, or Ariel who protested the cutting down of redwood trees by living in Robin's brothers' tree house. All of the kids did it, and wouldn't have been able to without each other. Ariel taught the rest of the kids how to remember a special moment together. Robin's stubborn streak helped the group to stay in the protest. Danny's funny ways kept the group's spirits up. Molly's cleverness helped the group to fend off Uncle Sibley and his big, burly slave. And Julian, with his grandmother working for the newspaper, helped the group with publicity. All together, the kids made an unbeatable team as they worked together to fight the redwood tree-cutting.
