Bookroo's summary

Trisha dreads her new school's 'junkyard' class, fearing it's just another label. But under the guidance of the inspiring Mrs. Peterson, she and her misfit classmates embark on a journey of discovery. As they uncover their hidden talents, they aim to show the school that they are more than just a special class—they are Junkyard Wonders. Can they change perceptions and reveal the genius within? This heartwarming tale celebrates the power of friendship and the teachers who help us shine.

From the publisher

Inspired by a teacher who believes each of them is a genius, a class of special-needs students invents something that could convince the whole school they are justifiably proud to be “Junkyard Wonders.”
