Trash Treasures
Other working titles: Trash Treasures & the Recycling Time Trip/Trash Treasures & The Finder Saver's Recycling Time Trip Mission
The Story: When Sophia loses her home due to a flood, her family (she and her mother) have to drift around a bit before her mother finds a low rent, run down property on the edge of town which lacks many things but provides a safe roof over their heads. However, one day while at work her mother is involved in an accident and suffers memory loss and since Sophia has to stay with foster parents until her mother recovers, Sophia visits her in hospital and tries to help her to remember things. One day however, Trash Treasures, who is on a trash recycling time trip mission to find trash to turn into treasures shows up and meets Sophia and the two travel through time to find certain trash objects that the Finder Saver has to recycle and turn into treasure. During their time trips as they visit moments in time, the two also collect some objects that Sophia has lost and visit the Land of the Lost as Trash Treasures helps her to restore her own and her mother’s memories, their life and their home and as they do so, they revisit some happy memories from the past and collect those treasures along the way and make some memory flash cards with words, symbols and sketches on them from each time trip and each memory to help Sophia's mother to remember things.
