trouble learning.
Then, she finds out that she is in a special class again and that the other kids don’t like her because she is in that
class.

into groups that are called tribes. Their class name is The Junkyard, which they think is because they are like
pieces of junk that no one wants and throws out.
After that, Trisha realizes that all of her classmates have special talents and that they all work very well together.

just like the plane. Even though it is made of junk, it still turns out great.
