Rubbish

A non-narrated fantasy adventure about the world of puppets created by a young boy from the odds and ends he collects in the streets. The adventure begins in the long alleys and narrow laneways of the city and culminates in a secret magic place known only to the young boy and his friend the kettlebird. Suitable for upper primary level.
