description: When young Trisha finds out her class at the new school is known as The Junkyard she is devastated. She moved from her old town so she wouldn't be in a special class anymore! But then she meets her teacher the quirky and invincible Mrs. Peterson and her classmates an oddly brilliant group of students each with his or her own unique talent. And it is here in The Junkyard that Trisha learns the true meaning of genius and that this group of misfits are in fact wonders all of them. Based on a real-life event in Patricia Polacco's childhood this ode to teachers will inspire all readers to find their inner genius.
