The Wrenchies - Farel Dalrymple

If the Goonies were tasked with saving the world in a dystopian future, The Wrenchies would be the result. But the tone of the book is much less happy-go-lucky than a Christopher Columbus movie - it's ultimately a tale about young people finding their own strength and relying on their friends to fight against the oppression of the adult world before giving in to its demands.
