The Iremonger series is a trilogy of young adult novels written and illustrated by Edward Carey. The series takes place in an alternate-history version of London, where trash has been allowed to pile up for years, forming "The Heaps," a dangerous wasteland of trash and discarded objects. The heaps are managed by the Iremonger family. Each meber of the Iremonger family has a "birth object," a significant object chosen for them at birth that they keep with them at all times. The story follows Clodius "Clod" Iremonger, a boy who can hear objects speaking, and Lucy Pennant, who comes to Heap House to work as a servant.
