The Secret Life of Pets meets The Bad Guys in DOWN IN THE DUMPS, an all-new, highly illustrated early chapter book series about three unlikely friends—a rotten banana, a broken tea pot, and a crusty blob of gum—and their adventures together in the local town landfill.

Oh, no! In Trash vs. Trucks, the second book in the Down in the Dumps series, the trucks are planning to move Nana’s beautiful home at the Westerfield Waste Transfer and Recycling Center. And to a trash barge of all places, too! Nana isn’t about to give up her beloved dump without a fight, but she’ll need a plan first. Will Nana and her trash friends be able to save their home and stop the trucks from taking apart everything they’ve worked so hard to build?

Trash vs. Trucks is the second book in the Down in the Dumps series from beloved author-illustrator Wes Hargis. It will have even the most reluctant readers taking out the trash for more adventures!

HarperChapters build confident readers one chapter at a time! With short, fast-paced books, art on every page, and milestone markers at the end of every chapter, they're the perfect next step for fans of I Can Read!

It’s going to take some serious teamwork to stop those trucks.

  • Unlikely Friends: A rotten banana, a broken teapot, and a blob of gum team up in an unforgettable friendship story.
  • Teamwork for Kids: Nana needs help from every piece of trash in the Westerfield Dump to stop the bulldozers.
  • Saving Their Home: Follow along as the trio comes up with a wild plan to throw a “Trashtacular” and prove their home is here to stay!
  • Art on Every Page: Dynamic illustrations bring this hilarious trash-filled world to life, making it perfect for emerging readers.
