- Marileta Robinson, author of The Toe Snatchers, former editor at Highlights
Having superpowers can really stink!Twelve-year-old Trent Hartwood, a kind and caring young man, rescues a frightened kitten from a dumpster. The putrid sludge inside transforms him into a smelly, slime-covered superhero with superhuman strength.
After witnessing the robbery of his aunt and uncle's pizza shop, he vows to use his new powers to bring the crooks to justice. But can he complete the mission without his identity being discovered?
Before he can come up with a good superhero name, someone calls the slimy figure Dumpster Man, and, unfortunately, the name sticks. That doesn't stop him from saving people and catching criminals in the city of Middleton-though he would be mortified if anyone knew Dumpster Man's identity, especially his friends and family.
This middle-grade novel follows a hero's journey, with a few life lessons along the way. If you are a fan of superhero adventures and courageous characters, join Trent on his first Dumpster Man adventure.
