Trashed: An Ode to the Crap Job of All Crap Jobs

by Derf Backderf
Hennepin County Library, hardcover 245 pages
genre: a mix of fiction and non-fiction about garbage in America, graphic novel

This was interesting and informative (and pretty depressing, actually). Landfills are filling and we keep generating more junk. I don't love Backderf's art style, but it is reminiscent of MAD magazine. He tells a story well. My Friend Dahmer was so creepy! This one is more straightforward, with a fictionalized story woven around a lot of facts. I would not be interested in getting this for my middle schoolers; this is definitely for older readers.
