Based on real-life experiences
working on a garbage truck, this comic book is filled with
moments to make you laugh, as well as some that may just
gross you out. There are also some well-researched facts
about garbage, landfills, and the history of trash. This
funny, in-your-face story might just make you think twice
when taking the trash out. Twitter:

Garner Otis and Dara have an unlikely friendship. Otis is
reluctantly swimming his summer away, while Dara screams
at him from the sidelines, trying to make him realize his
Olympic potential - something Dara may have had herself
once but is no longer a reality. Otis is just trying to
survive these grueling practices and keep his head above
the waves of grief that still crash over him three years
after the death of his younger brother. But then Otis’
former neighbor/friend/more-than-friend Meg comes back to
town, and life gets more complicated. Will these three
teens overcome their losses … or will they drown in their
grief? (Pennsylvania
