Description: "Bobbie's room is full of stuff - SO full, that it's hard for her and her "best cousin," Joanie, to find space to play. When Bobbie's mom gives her a two - week deadline to clear out the clutter, Bobbie has an idea - instead of taking stuff out of her room, she brings garage - sale finds and other glamorous garbage in. Will Bobbie transform the chaos into a beautiful big - kid room? This title weaves together three appealing themes: letting go of toys and dealing with a messy room, turning trash into treasure, and recycling and repurposing - a part of every school curriculum from kindergarten up."--Barnes & Noble website.
