Join four friends on their exciting adventure in an unlikely place with Michael Wuehler's Jasper and the Junkyard Giant. Within the peaceful neighborhood of Willowbrook lies a tree fort where four young boys meet every day to discuss their plans. The four friends, Jasper, Richard, Jamar, and Carlos, have been recently banned from using electronic devices for various reasons, including their obsession with video games, which caused them to ignore their chores. Struggling to pass the time this summer, Jasper comes up with an ingenious idea for an adventure in the local junkyard with his friends. Soon, Jasper, Richard, Jamar, and Carlos are on their way to the junkyard. However, the young friends were unaware of the metal giant hiding behind all the junk. How will Jasper and his friends deal with the presence of this unexpected stranger?
If you're a preteen reader and enjoy outdoor adventures, grab a copy of Jasper and the Junkyard Giant and let your imagination run wild. This story is about friendship, adventure, and discovering fun and joy in unlikely places. Author Michael Wuehler narrates an action-packed tale full of thrills and mystery, featuring likable protagonists young readers will love to root for. The plot moves at a brisk pace, and you're entertained from the first page to the last. I loved the different personalities of the four friends. It added layers to the inner dynamics between the characters. Besides the four friends, Jasper's family also added to the richness of the story. The dialogue is witty, and every conversation is a joy to read. Overall, it's a fantastic book for preteens and elementary school students.
