Operation Grandpa!: A Love Story for Older Folks & Clever Kids

How many of us older folks get our very own love story? How about one set in a pastoral background that echoes the cherished days of old, filled with warm, woolly animals and illustrations? Not many -- Until now. That is if grandson Charlie can work his magic on his seemingly hopeless, love-struck Grandpa Gus.It's summer in rural Northern Minnesota, and eleven-year-old Charlie is spending a month on his grandpa's hobby farm. He quickly notices that Grandpa Gus is smitten with Violet, his cheerful, vivacious, and friendly next-door neighbor. Surprisingly, the usually talkative Gus becomes shy and tongue-tied around her, often avoiding her. Sensing that Violet has feelings for his grandpa, Charlie decides to enlist the help of Gus's rescued farm animals to bring the two widowers together before his visit -- and summer -- comes to an end.
