Seamus is an ordinary shoe whose love of adventure lands him in a whole heap of trouble! Thrown from a truck into a world of rubbish he never knew existed he must find his feet in this larger than life wasteland.

Although lost, shy and regretting he ever walked out on his brother Charlie, he must come to terms with his uselessness and gradually learn the rules that govern dump life. Through friends and mentors he gains along the way such as ‘Nelson’, an old mahogany door who doubles as a hostel on Lodgers Lane, and Tess, an eccentric English dictionary and thesaurus who lives on Joyce Avenue, he picks up snippets about his unfamiliar surroundings and begins to settle in this topsy-turvy world of rubbish.

It is just as he starts to enjoy dump life, and aspires to be ‘Recycled’ and made useful again like his mobile phone friend Sam, that things begin to go askew. With the aid of KP, a beautiful and courageous newspaper, he unveils a dirty truth.

The dump dream begins to disintegrate as he discovers a plot that not only affects his friends but the whole dump and the animal and human worlds beyond. He makes dangerous enemies in high rankings of society and comes face to face with Adam and his army; a rat whose lineage can be traced back to the beginnings of creation, and whose lust for revenge has seen his ancestors put a paw in such dirty deeds as the black death and the great stink of London.

Seamus is an ordinary shoe but it is going to take an extraordinary courage to fight for his friends and stand up for the dump he now calls home.All Rights Reserved
