Scrap City

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 . . .
For ages 10-14.
* Likeable characters: readers will identify with and appreciate Arkie, Jerome, and CiCi
* Real-life struggle (Jerome and Arkie have both lost their mothers) plus a fantastical premise (human-like beings built out of scraps from a junkyard)
* Focus on the environment: all of the Scrappers are built of reused pieces
