This is one of those books that I loved everything about. It left me only wanting more. What a great story that will appeal to boys and girls alike. It is the story of Arthur, a 13 year old, who takes a rock and throws it at an elderly man because he is dealing with his father's death and he is angry - angry that this man has his father's hat on. What comes of that rock is a court detention of serving time for this elderly man - a man who collects junk. That is Arthur's new job - collecting junk - or better yet, the 7 most important things. I love how this tale unfolds - it is one where you will laugh and possibly even cry - it's perfect!

(Wish so much symbolism for great discussions as well!)
