Canned
This book is about a boy named Fergal Bamfield he doesn't have any friends. One day he was going grocery shopping with his mom and he found the desire to have a collection. For his collection he chose cans, but they had to be cans from the bargain basket with no labels. Every weekend he went grocery shopping with his mom, and he brought more cans for his collection. He loved the mystery of collecting them, but he wouldn't open them because he wanted to keep the mysteriousness. He wished there was someone else who he could share this feeling and interest with. One day he actually opened a can and found something horrific in it was a finger. He opened another can and found a earring he wondered were they came from and why they were in cans. One weekend he was at the market with his mom and he found a can he really wanted, but just as he started to grab it another person grabbed it as well. That person was also a can collector, she is the same age as Fergal, and she also has no friends her name is Charlotte. They both became friends, and agree to open that can together. When Fergal gets to her house he tells her he found a human finger, and she says she found a human earlobe in a can. When they open the can the find a note saying help. They want to try and find were it came from and help that person in need. In order to find were it came from they need to look at every bar code on every single can until they found the matching code. When they start there search Charlotte says she can't search anymore because she was going on vacation for a couple weeks. Now Fergal was on his own. One day he was in the pet isle looking at bar codes at the bottom of cans, and he found it the exact same code. When he got home he told his parents he was going to the library, but he actually got on to a bus to the location of the factory that made the pet food. When he got there he climbed over a fence to get in, but as he got down someone caught him and he was taken prisoner inside the warehouse with many other kids. All the kids in there have to unwillingly work and package and make every single can of pet food in there. One day Fergal was able to send a note in a can to Charlotte who was now back from vacation. Charlotte tried telling everyone she knew were Fregal was, but nobody believed her. So she went to rescue him by herself. When she got there she was able to actually get inside without being caught. She was able to find him, but when she did the man who trapped them all there came in. The two kids got outside before getting hurt. While they were outside they found a payphone and called the cops and there parents. When the cops arrived the man who trapped them there was gone.
