"Junior Miles and the Junkman is a treasure." Erin Dionne, author of
SECRETS OF A FANGIRL
Junior and his family live in a junkyard, where his father creates
pieces of art from the junk surrounding them. When Junior's father falls
ill and dies, Junior and his mother are left with few resources, other
than what his mother brings in from her job as a waitress. The junkyard
is threatened by encroaching development, and just when Junior thinks
all is lost, he finds that a tin man, gifted to him by his father,
begins to speak to him. The junkman provides advice in the form of
enigmas. Are they clues? Or is it nonsense? Junior and his best friend,
Isaac, embark on a journey to find out. Can a man made of junk parts
teach Junior about art and friendship and overcoming the loss of a loved
one? Only if Junior believes it can.
