Operation Eiffel Tower

Lauren, Jack, Ruby, and Billy live by the seaside with their mum and dad. However, their parents constantly argue, leading to their dad moving out. Determined to reunite them, Lauren and Jack initiate Operation Eiffel Tower. The children come up with a plan to raise money to give their parents a treat in hopes of making them happier. Initially aiming to send them to Paris, they instead create a dinner for two under a makeshift Eiffel Tower at the local crazy golf course. The story, which is both humorous and touching, addresses serious issues in a gentle manner and explores whether this creative attempt can get their parents to start talking again. This book was one of Julia Donaldson's choices for The Guardian's Best Books of 2011 and is perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson.
