AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The third of Judy Nunn’s short stories featuring the citizens of the Otto Bin Empire is an inspirational tale of finding family in the unlikeliest of places . . .

‘I have no family,’ Adam said, the blue eyes in the baby face now ice-cold. ‘I have no mother and I have no father.’

'Adam is just fifteen years old when he stumbles upon the Otto Bin Empire, a community of homeless men and women who gather at the colourful wheelie bins down near the docks.

'The teenage runaway is fleeing from his violent, alcoholic father, and now has one goal: to stay lost.

'But parents can come in all shapes and sizes - as Adam is about to discover, following a chance encounter one winter night . . .'
