Author: Shelley Pearsall, 288 pages, paperback
It was a bitterly cold day when Arthur T. Owens grabbed a brick and hurled it at the trash picker. Arthur had his reasons, and the brick hit the Junk Man in the arm, not the head. But none of that matters to the judgeβhe is ready to send Arthur to juvie for the foreseeable future. Amazingly, itβs the Junk Man himself who offers an alternative: 120 hours of community service . . . working for him.
Arthur is given a rickety shopping cart and a list of the Seven Most Important Things: glass bottles, foil, cardboard, pieces of wood, lightbulbs, coffee cans, and mirrors. He canβt believe itβis he really supposed to rummage through peopleβs trash? But it isnβt long before Arthur realizes thereβs more to the Junk Man than meets the eye, and the βtrashβ heβs collecting is being transformed into something more precious than anyone could imagine. . . .
Inspired by the work of American folk artist James Hampton.
