Operation Eiffel Tower by Elen Caldecott

Siblings Jack and Lauren want to keep their parents together but they always notice the fights and escalating screaming matches that occur. They help Ruby and Billy their younger siblings to cope when their dad leaves home and even though they saw the signs, it's a shock.

Jack helps out at the golf course and enjoys playing there as it's crazy golf set to areas of the world, including the Eiffel Tower.
After their dad leaves home, they plot getting their parents enough money for a trip to Paris for real thinking of money making ways but as a terrible thing occurs, the parents still can't unite and so the kids bring Paris to home...r

This book holds so many truths and could be a real life situation with a family dealing with impending divorce and unsettling a family home. It will be relatable and perhaps even inspire some kids to try this idea possibly too! The children were depicted perfectly and the parents came across as a struggling couple. It was a serious book but it has times of fun as the children worked together all ages included.
