The Adventures of Junkyard Jones and Pepper the Pup: The Secret of Scrapyard Hill (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798897110131)

Farmer Mandy needs help. She hurt her back stacking hay bales and needs to feed her cows. Junkyard Jones knows just what to do. He needs to design and build a self-feeding system to help his friend.

With the help of his faithful dog, Pepper the Pub, and a bit of magic, Junkyard Jones goes to work in The Think Factory, a homemade workshop built from an old school bus that sits in the back corner of the junkyard, where he lives.

The Secrets of Scrapyard Hill, beautifully illustrated by Bryan Werts, is the first adventure in author Patrick Jones's Junkyard Jones and Pepper the Pup series.

Junkyard Jones loves to build things with his hands. But what he loves to do even more than that is to help people. His companion, Pepper the Pup, helps as Junkyard uses his heart and his imagination to figure out how to solve his friends' problems by making something that will help them. It doesn't hurt that the pair are aided by a little bit of magic along the way.

Author Patrick C. Jones is a U.S. Army veteran who draws inspiration from his two children to create stories of hope and love. Growing up with little, Patrick learned that with some imagination and creativity, discarded items can be made into something extraordinary.
