Jed and the Junkyard War

(4) 4-6 Almost-twelve-year-old Jed's parents have prepared him for many survival scenarios, although he's never quite been sure why. When his parents go missing and he stumbles into a steampunk-esque world of scavengers and turf wars, however, Jed's able to put those skills to good use. While character development is lackluster, the cliffhanger will have some readers itching for a sequel in this strange world.
