One Kid's Trash

From the acclaimed author of Roll with It and Tune It Out comes a funny, moving, and not to be missed (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) middle grade novel about a boy who uses his unusual talent for decoding peoples trash to try to fit in at his new school. Hugo is not happy about being dragged halfway across the state of Colorado just because his dad had a midlife crisis and decided to become a ski instructor. Itd be different if Hugo werent so tiny, if girls didnt think he was adorable like a puppy in a purse and guys didnt call him leprechaun and rub his head for luck. But here he is, the tiny new kid on his first day of middle school. When his fellow students discover his remarkable talent for garbology, the science of studying trash to tell you anything you could ever want to know about a person, Hugo becomes the cool kid for the first time in his life. But what happens when it all goes to his head?
