The Junkyard Wonders by Patricia Polacco, Philomel Books, 2010, ISBN 978-0-399-25078-1
PS: 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".
Oh my, Patricia Polacco has done it again. In the spirit of Thank You Mr. Falker, Polacco tells the autobiographical story of yet another inspiring teacher. As a young girl, Polacco finds herself in the "special class", known around school as the Junkyard. She makes genuine friends, is truly happy, and is encouraged and inspired by her teacher, Mrs. Peterson.
