"I'm nothing but a piece of trash!" With one empty swing of the bat, that's exactly how Chip Taterman felt. No good. Useless. Like a piece of trash. And when you're that low, the only direction to go from there is...down. When Chip falls, he finds there are greater things in life to worry about than a baseball game. Welcome to Trashtown is a wild ride through a world turned upside-down, where junk is good, gunk is bad, getting old is getting better and the broken and busted feel right at home. Welcome to Trashtown is a funny, messy trip in which an odd group of friends come together to save the world. It's one boy's journey from trash to triumph, and every dirty, rotten place in between.
