What is Mrs. B Reading?
Arthur T. Owens picks up a brick and throws it at the Junk Man. It hits him in the arm, not the head, shouldn't be such a big deal. But a judge wants to throw him in juvie. The Junk Man himself is the one that gives him an alternative. You see, Arthur just lost his father and the Junk Man trash picked his dad's hat and was wearing it. He was angry. So angry. The Junk Man gives him a list of items he has to pick from the trash each day, but only writes it on a paper and Arthur doesn't even see him for weeks. Finally, he gets to know Mr. Hampton and starts to understand why he collects so much junk. The problem is, that Mr. Hampton is sick and Arthur can't handle someone else in his life who he might also lose.
This is an amazing story of how not to judge a book by it's cover, in so many ways. And how we have the ability to change and adapt no matter where we come from or how we are brought up. I can't recommend this book enough! Trust me, you will LOVE it!
