If you love dogs and action-packed adventures, you’ll love The Junkyard. This salute to friendship takes readers on an amazing adventure through the twisting tunnels, hidden rooms, and secret passageways of an unknown world.
Synopsis:
Ninja is a pit bull who would rather die than hurt another dog. When she purposefully loses in the fighting ring of a cruel junkyard owner, Mr. Fergusen, she is punished and left for dead at the edge of a nearby forest. A tribe of stray junkyard dogs finds her and gives her a new name, Maytag. They nurse her back to health and welcome her into their secret home inside the northern junkyard’s mountains of wrecked cars, appliances, tires, and trains. For the first time, Maytag feels love and is incredibly relieved to be free of Mr. Fergusen’s fighting ring.
But her relief is short-lived.
Saab, the aggressive Rottweiler of the southern junkyard, plans to conquer the north with the help of Canis, a vengeful forest wolf. If the junkyard becomes a warzone, Mr. Fergusen will surely take Dodge’s strays to the put-down place. When Saab’s plan is set in motion, Maytag must decide if her new friends are worth fighting for.
