Junkers Season Two

Junkers Series, Book 2

By: Benjamin Wallace

Narrated by: Phil Thron

It was supposed to be the happiest place on the whole wide planet. It was supposed to be a place where every child’s favorite characters came to life. And it was, until those characters went nuts and started killing everyone. Then it wasn’t so happy.

Ten years later, Jake and his team of robot reclamation specialists are heading to the island theme park to confront the evil machines, discover Kat’s connection to the disaster, and boost the flagging ratings on their reality show, Scrappers.

Fearless Monkeynauts, overly friendly Bearberry Bears, feuding Presidents, Dinosty Warriors, fairy tale legends, and more populate the abandoned park, and only the Junkers are brave enough—or dumb enough—to go for a visit.

Join Jake, Hailey, Kat, Savant, Mason and, of course, Glitch as they try to uncover the mystery of what they call The Tragic Kingdom.

Ben has a wonderful way of yelling stories.

I've loved this whole book. It reminds me of Temu Disney land just in the future. I'm so invested in the characters and loving how they interact with each other. Ben, how do you think of this stuff and put it together to make us laugh and shudder at the same time. Phil is great at narration. Thank you for this book. I really needed it.

Ben is back!

This was an awesome installment of Junkers. Absurdity at its best. I only pitty poor Phil Thron for trying to make it through without breaking down laughing. (Psst... I don't think he did.)

Presidential chaos hits a lot different these days

I’ll admit that my lack of enjoyment of this may have to do with current events. Truth is stranger than fiction, but I never thought a book featuring robot Presidents vs dinosaurs vs teddy bears would strike my funny bone wrong, as if realizing that all that robot insanity sadly made more sense than real life.

The comedy here relied on random and inane riffs thrown down along with robots uttering sex euphemisms and tainted kid-centric entertainment. Instead of the clever fun of book 1, all of the jokes landed wrong.
