One Kid's Trash

  • Format:

From the acclaimed author of Roll with It and Tune It \nOut comes a funny, moving, and “not to be missed” (Kirkus \nReviews, starred review) middle grade novel about a boy who \nuses his unusual talent for decoding people’s trash to try to fit \nin at his new school. \nHugo is not happy about being dragged halfway across the state of \nColorado just because his dad had a midlife crisis and decided to become a \nski instructor. It’d be different if Hugo weren’t so tiny, if girls didn’t think \nhe was adorable like a puppy in a purse and guys didn’t call him \n“leprechaun” and rub his head for luck. But here he is, the tiny new kid on \nhis first day of middle school. \nWhen his fellow students discover his remarkable talent for garbology, the \nscience of studying trash to tell you anything you could ever want to know \nabout a person, Hugo becomes the cool kid for the first time in his life. But \nwhat happens when it all goes to his head?
