  1. I loved the book Junkyard Wonders because my Mom works with special needs kids and I feel really bad for them. I felt really bad when Trish's friend died. I wanted to cry. This book is so well written I thought it was happening right in front of me!

  4. I feel bad for the kids and proud to stand up to people like that. i'm not a special needs kid myself but i say "i'm weird and proud of it !" It isn't fair that people get pushed around because the're different and i would like to say if everyone was normal life would be dull.

    GO GO JUNKYARD WONDERS!!!
