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 judge\u2014he is ready to send Arthur to juvie forever. Amazingly, it\u2019s the Junk Man himself who offers an alternative: 120 hours of community service . . . working for him.
\u00a0
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 can\u2019t believe it\u2014is he really supposed to rummage through people\u2019s trash? But it isn\u2019t long before Arthur realizes there\u2019s more to the Junk Man than meets the eye, and the \u201ctrash\u201d he\u2019s collecting is being transformed into something more precious than anyone could imagine. . . .
\u00a0
Inspired by the work of folk artist James Hampton, Shelley Pearsall has crafted an affecting and redemptive novel about discovering what shines within us all, even when life seems full of darkness.
