Bin Bot: The Bin Who Saved the Street
A lonely wheelie bin. A bolt of lightning. A brand-new superhero!
by Robin DeVries
⭐ Coming soon to Amazon
Bob is a wheelie bin on Puddle Street, and nobody ever says hello to Bob. People just call him smelly. Then one stormy night, KRA-KOOM! A bolt of lightning hits him, and Bob wakes up with arms, wheels and a whole lot of attitude.
With a borrowed tablecloth for a cape and his best friend Crumbs the pigeon by his side, Bob becomes BIN BOT! He can gobble up any rubbish and BURP it back out as shiny recycling. (Yes, even Mrs Pickles’ handbag. Twice.)
But Rocco Raccoon, the self-crowned Trash King of the junkyard, wants every scrap of rubbish for himself, and he’s built the giant TRASH-O-TRON to suck up the whole street. Can Bin Bot save Puddle Street, and discover that nothing, and nobody, is rubbish?
