Books with author R. Thornton

Do you love poetry? Do you love word play? Do you love well crafted and sophisticated prose? Well, this book may just be for you. Because I'm not like a regular poet, I'm a cool poet. If I had to describe my poetry, I'd say it's like watching Batman riding an American eagle which has been genetically spliced with a racoon (an Eagle-Coon) fighting a tyrannosaurus who has the face and mannerisms of Nicolas Cage while simultaneously battling off an army of giant, sentient, rabid cupcakes riding unicorns whose horns have been replaced with Shaquille O'Neal's left foot. Now, I know what you're thinking: how could anyone possibly fit this much awesome into a book this small? Well...maybe you should just read and find out.

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 . . .
