Julian Carter-Li is staying with this aunt and uncle while his mother is on assignment in China. A sick day spent in his uncle's office leads him to an e-mail that declares his uncle to be a "moron and world-class jerk." Plans are under way to cut down a redwood forest located next to the farm of Robin Elder and her family. And Robin is out to save the trees. It's a realistic fiction book (reminds me of Hoot) that shows what happens when children stand up to big corporations. The characters, Julian, Robin (who is home-schooled) and Danny Lopez, come to life through their e-mails. Great story for middle schoolers.
