Description
In the North Pacific Ocean lives a monster made of trash, a hungry, greedy meanie with a handlebar moustache. And though his name is Garbage Guts, he’s often called Big G. He blobs about destroying all the oceans and the seas.
Garbage Guts is determined to have the ocean all for himself, and will do just about anything to get his way. How on Earth will this beast be stopped?
This action-packed story explores the impact of our waste on the environment, and ways we can help save our planet.

Heidi Cooper Smith is a talented Australian author and illustrator who knew from the age of 11 she wanted to write and illustrate books. In 2014 she was offered her first contract to illustrate a picture book.
