The Adventures of the City Dump Kids Trilogy

Welcome to Cottlerbury, USA-Where Even the Dump Has Stories to Tell

On the outskirts of the ordinary town of Cottlerbury sits a forgotten little lane, lined with wood-framed houses and ending at the city's old refuse dump. There, among the mounds of discarded toasters, broken toys, and forgotten furniture, stands a rambling white house wrapped in a white picket fence. The yard is always full of bikes and toys, and if you listen closely, you can hear laughter ringing like church bells on a cool breeze.

This is no ordinary house. It's a happy house. A house so full of life, it seems to smile.

Inside live six spirited children, their hardworking mother Teema, and wise old Grandma Viola. Together, they fill the home with chaos, imagination, and love.

There's AJ, the responsible twelve-year-old "man of the house" who somehow finds time for fun between helping with the younger kids. Ten-year-old Ramblin Rab is never still, constantly caught up in epic pirate battles and dragon hunts. Everyone in town knows Rab-he's the heartbeat of the neighborhood.

Eight-year-old ReeRat is the oldest girl, happiest in the kitchen with Grandma Viola or dressing up with her dolls and little sister, SunnyPooh. At just two years old, SunnyPooh is already a techie in training, always tapping away at her toy laptop and plotting her next great escape from the playpen.

And then there are the six-year-old twins-Toy Monster and Jimmy Jam-quiet geniuses known as the Twin Terrors. They rarely speak, but always seem to know what the other is thinking. Curious and clever, they're either building something brilliant... or accidentally setting it on fire.

While Teema works long hours, Grandma Viola holds the fort with love, sweet tea, and the occasional nap. The house hums with life-laughter, learning, and endless adventure.

Come on in. There's always room for one more at the house at the end of the lane. Let me tell you a few stories.
