Garbage comes to life as animated creatures called junklets, wreaking havoc in elementary schools. Specially trained kids from the magical School of Garbage are sent to stop the rise of the trash monsters. With the school’s magical janitorial supplies—brooms that can fly, toilet plungers that can reverse gravity, and mops that can capture anything in their strings—the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

Landon Murphy never imagined he would spend his summer battling the animated trash monster known as the Megalajunk, and he is eager to continue studying from the wizard-like janitors at the School of Garbage. He’ll need to improve his skills with magical pushbrooms and plungers now that the Thingamajunks have gone rogue. When two Thingamajunks show up at Landon’s mother’s wedding, Landon is desperate to save his family. Using the lock he kept after defeating the Megalajunk, Landon accidentally triggers his own temporary transformation into the trash leviathan.

It is a wild and slightly unsanitary ride as Spencer, Daisy, and the rebels find themselves chased by Mr Clean's new and terrifying breed of toxite - the Sweepers. Time is short. With the fable Manualis Custodem in hand, Spencer must figure out how to summon the founding witches if they ever hope to mop up and save education.

A secret society of janitors with wizard-like powers continue the battle. But now, the stakes are even higher. The Bureau of Educational Maintenance is after Alan Zumbro, and this time the evildoers mean business - deadly business. Spencer, Daisy, and their little team of Rebels must find the source of all magical Glop and destroy it before it can destroy the world as we know it.

No one takes Spencer Zumbro seriously when he tried to warn his classmates about the mysterious things prowling the halls and classrooms of Welcher Elementary School. But when he sees Marv, the janitor, going after one of the creatures with a vacuum, he knows he's not the only one who can see them. With the help of his new friend, Daisy, Spencer has to find out what the janitors know. The children's search uncovers the magic taking place behind the scenes of their seemingly ordinary school.

Now more than ever, Spencer, Daisy, and even Dez must fight to save schools everywhere. Toxites, the small creatures that love to feed on the brain waves of students, are just the beginning of their troubles. The Bureau of Educational Maintenance (BEM) is after Spencer, and the Rebels hope to sneak him to safety within the walls of an elite private school. But danger follows Spencer and his friends, testing their loyalty and trust as well as their Toxite-fighting skills.

Eine einstige Verbündete trachtet ihm nach dem Leben. Obendrein wird er von einem alten Feind zu einem aberwitzigen Auftrag erpresst: Er soll einen lebenden Drachen stehlen. Und als wäre das noch nicht genug, betritt ein Gegner die Bühne, so mächtig und skrupellos wie keiner zuvor. Ard und seine Freunde müssen all ihren Wagemut, ihr Geschick und ihre Intelligenz zusammennehmen und ein letztes Mal in den Kampf ziehen – einen Kampf, bei dem nichts Geringeres auf dem Spiel steht als Raum, Zeit und die Realität selbst.

Der Preis des Überlebens – Ardor Benn hat die Zivilisation vor der sicheren Auslöschung bewahrt. Sein Kampf um die Einheit des Reiches führt den Meister von List und Tücke und seine Freunde in die geheimsten Winkel der Welt, auf die wilde Dracheninsel Pekal, bis auf den Grund des Meeres und auf die Spur einer verloren geglaubten Liebe. Erneut muss Ardor Benn unter Beweis stellen, dass er sich auch in den aussichtslosesten Momenten auf seinen legendären Verstand verlassen kann.

Gentleman. Gauner. Legende. Ardor Benn ist kein gewöhnlicher Dieb. Er ist gerissen, ehrgeizig und ein Meister des komplexen Coups. Sich selbst bezeichnet er gerne als „außergewöhnlicher Gentleman-Gauner". Als ein Priester ihn für den bislang riskantesten Job seiner Karriere anheuert, weiß Ardor nur zu gut, dass er dafür mehr als Schlagfertigkeit und Taschenspielertricks benötigt. Er stellt daher eine illustre Truppe aus Fälschern, Täuschern, Intriganten und Dieben zusammen und macht sich daran, den mächtigsten König zu bestehlen, den das Reich je gesehen hat.

Landon Murphy and Jade Shu, stepsiblings turned wizard-like janitors, must step up after a disastrous encounter with the Locksmith—an immortal Auran who commands an army of Thingamajunks. With the Bureau of Educational Maintenance in disarray and their allies captured, Landon and Jade rally their friends from the School of Garbage and work to uncover vital clues hidden within the discarded trash of the magical landfill.
