Reviews
Operation: Happy is a beautifully written historical adventure with characters that captured my heart. A fast-paced, heartwarming coming-of-age story about a fiercely brave girl and her dog that safely guides the reader through one of the most challenging moments in history. * Chris Baron, award-winning author of The Magical Imperfect and The Gray * An extraordinary story of duty and family. Young readers will fall in love with Happy, a retired Marine sentry dog determined to do what it takes to protect his people from both the attacks on Pearl Harbor and the crushing sense of fear that follows. In turns harrowing and hopeful, Operation: Happy is a book that will immerse kids in a historical moment when fear was all too common, and the presence of a brave and loyal companion couldn't have been more important. Inspiring, endearing, and highly recommended! * Kate Albus, award-winning author of A Place to Hang the Moon and Nothing Else but Miracles * Transporting me from the tense shores of Pearl Harbor and into the heart of a courageous girl and her lovable dog, Happy, Operation: Happy is a roller coaster of emotions. Told partly through the eyes of Happy, Walsh beautifully balances the heart-pounding scenes of war with a tender portrayal of its aftermath. * Jennifer A. Nielsen, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Words on Fire, Resistance, and Uprising *
