Operation Yes / Sara Lewis / 234 pages

"Be kind, for everyone you know is fighting a great battle."

The goal is to raise $l00,000 for soldiers wounded in the war - Afghanistan and Iraq.  The students in Room 208 plan to sell LGM's - Little Green (army) Men for $1 each.  They launch a media campaign and write and perform a play to ensure the success of Operation Yes.  Their teacher, Ms. Loupe, inspired the campaign when she was overcome by grief at her brother's injuries in the war.  This great story, extolling the importance of creative teaching, in about friendship, commitment to an ideal, and the issued faced by members of our military and their families.
