Description

Would you believe that under the ground, right beneath your city, was another city? Would you believe it was populated with Scrappers, people built of metal and glass and stone? Jerome has no choice but to believe it after he meets Arkie. Arkie is a Scrapper, and he and Jerome quickly become friends maybe even brothers. So when Arkie's city is in danger, Jerome knows he must help. But helping Arkie means hurting Jerome's dad, the only real family Jerome still has . . .

Praise for Scrap City

"The action is rollicking, constant and mild enough for young readers. . . .This is a solid adventure with a provocative message about cultural and environmental preservation." - School Library Journal

"The premise is delicious, and the underlying message that warns against consumerism and consumption is admirable…" - Kirkus Reviews
