It is a story of Arthur, a 13-year-old boy who gets in big trouble when he throws a brick at the Junk Man. As part of his probation, he is assigned 120 hours of community service working for the Junk Man. He is then asked to collect the seven important things: lightbulbs, foil, mirrors, wood, soda bottles, coffee cans, and cardboard. They seem trash to Arthur, but he has no choice but to do the job unwillingly. Over the next few weeks, while collecting the items, Arthur forms a close relationship with the Junk Man. He realizes the important things on the list aren’t just items to collect. Each represents something important he must change to become a better person. Read the book which may help you find what you value most in your life. Author: Shelley Pearsall
