Trash Talk
Lillian Brummet
People are constantly bombarded with negative information about the environment and our resources. Feeling powerless because we cannot afford to donate cash or time to a cause, we begin to feel overwhelmed by the immense environmental problems our world faces. The book's focus is on changing people's mindset to a more open, hopeful and proactive one. Not by finger-pointing at corporations and governments, but by starting in our own homes, at our own desks. Trash Talk embarks on frugal and conscious living techniques for the individual via reuse of 'waste' materials and reducing consumption of resources.

Amazon.com Reader Reviews
This book is listed as young adult, but it fits well into the general humor genre. It rocketed me back to my thirteenth year so fast I got whiplash. It's seldom that a book makes me laugh out loud, but I couldn't stop myself with this one. Thanks to Fishel, I was told to leave the room.

A modern day Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. A wonderful book about friendship and long summer days. Great for girls and boys, men and women. It's sure to become a classic.

Author Review
And all this time you thought you understood…Remember all the problems and conflicts of being a kid? Remember feeling afraid of your own shadow, being unpopular and out of sync with the world – and thinking that the only solution was to shrink within yourself and hide?
Bet you didn’t know those frightening episodes could lead to something you never would have expected, or that the trials and tribulations might have had a purpose - and that purpose was to make some adjustments in you.
Russell’s Revenge is the story of just such a journey, a wild pilgrimage through one of life’s toughest episodes, when learning that crossing the line from kid to teenager and careening toward adulthood is more than just measuring the advance of time. Thirteen-year-old Dennis begins that journey in 1960 Seattle the day Jay Robbins, the new kid on the block, jumps over the back fence and head-butts his way into Dennis’s self-constructed world of safe seclusion.
Den and Jay are polar opposites, oil-and-water personalities that find friendship and unity through building and flying model airplanes, and through their shared fear of the hulking and evil Russell Folmer. By unfortunate circumstance, Russell has lived on Den’s street for as long as Den can remember, an ominous presence who has caused the neighborhood kids to hide like prairie dogs. When Jay moves from another neighborhood in the same school district and into the house behind Den’s, he brings his own knowledge of Russell’s evil ways with him, stories that only confirm the infamy of the most feared and hated kid at Marcus Whitman Junior High.
But Jay brings something else, too. Possessing all the energy and disruptive influence of an erupting volcano, Jay is not one to spend much time hiding and drags Den out of his personal fortress and into a world of mischief and adventure. The trouble is that this is a world in which Russell Folmer also roams. After bombs made of the only product a dog manufactures are dropped from a modified kite and land on the bully’s head by mistake, the world of adventure becomes an even more trecherous place. With the intended target being the neighborhood geezer, the air assault not only smudges the forehead of the Beast of Fourth Avenue, but furthers his soiled reputation when the blame for it lands on him as well. Thus begins a cycle of pranks that add to Russell’s escalating and misplaced guilt accompanied by repeated barn-painting punishments, all leading to an ever tightening noose on Den and Jay as Russell closes in for the inevitable confrontation and a conclusion that leaves the reader stunned.
Stirring in the mystical qualities of the unseen forces that shape us, the author takes both adult and young readers on a fast-paced and hilarious voyage through the young world of crash-landing discovery that being thirteen is. Moving from one minor disaster to another with scarcely a moment to take a breath, Fishel launches the reader into a domain where everything seems to happen by purposeful accident – a realm of narrow escapes leading to a final resolution that transforms these seemingly singular mishaps into a surprise revelation of Life’s design.
