Melted together from tin cans, old computer screens, wheels, scrap metal, car parts and everything else found in a landfill, the Lightning Robots crawl out from under piles of garbage and find each other. The little robots are led by Squeaker, a Robot whose body is an empty can of green beans. A computer screen for a head makes it possible for Squeaker to see the world around her. Turbo Max, Squeaker's pal, is made from an old electric motor and wheels. Turbo Max looks and acts like a pet dog. Suddenly lightning flashed The group of Robots start a dangerous trek up distant hills to escape from the landfill workers, who would destroy them if they could catch them. The Lightning Robots did not know how or why they were created by lightning during the storm. But they are determined to help stop pollution and make the earth a healthier planet. But how will the Lightning Robots survive to fulfill this mission? Where will the Robots hide to keep the landfill workers from destroying them?
