SCRAP: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE RUSTY by Guy Bass

AUTHOR:  Guy Bass

ILLUSTRATOR:  Alessia Trunfio

 

When Scrap, Paige, and Gnat survive a vicious attack by the ruthless Mayor Highshine, their quest becomes more desperate than ever. Armed with one hope… the Pink-Footed Goose, a once-in-a-lifetime rocket ship capable of whisking them off-world, they venture into the spooky, uncharted frontier known as the Elsewhere.

Their journey leads them to Mooch, a curious and nomadic robot town populated by mechanical outcasts who reject Highshine’s oppressive rule. Welcomed by the enigmatic Marshall Wired Bill, Scrap and Gnat feel an unfamiliar warmth in this new community - an echo of something they’ve longed for. Meanwhile, Paige is haunted by visions of ghostly humans, including what appears to be her own mother guiding her toward the hidden landing site of their salvation.

As the trio presses onward, the fragile bonds of hope are tested. Danger and mystery entwine: from creepy visions to enigmatic allies like Newman offering ambiguous help, each twist brings them closer to a revelation that will shake them to their core. Loyalties are questioned, and trust is fragile—especially when the cliffhanger ending leaves their fate uncertain. 

Illustrated throughout by Alessia Trunfio’s haunting and expressive art, SCRAP: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE RUSTY deepens the emotional and moral layers of the thrilling sci-fi series. It’s a story of survival, belonging, and the difficult choices between escape and home.
