Young Trisha is devastated to find herself in a class known as "the junkyard" at her new school. But then she meets the amazing Mrs. Peterson and her oddly brilliant group of classmates — the so-called junkyard kids. Much to her own surprise, it is here that Trisha discovers the true meaning of genius, and that these misfits are, in fact, Junkyard Wonders, each and every one of them.
