Trash by Andy Mulligan

Description

Trash by Andy Mulligan published in 2010.

In an unnamed Third World country, in the not-so-distant future, three “dumpsite boys” make a living picking through the mountains of garbage on the outskirts of a large city.

One unlucky-lucky day, Raphael finds something very special and very mysterious. So mysterious that he decides to keep it, even when the city police offer a handsome reward for its return. That decision brings with it terrifying consequences, and soon the dumpsite boys must use all of their cunning and courage to stay ahead of their pursuers. It’s up to Raphael, Gardo, and Rat—boys who have no education, no parents, no homes, and no money—to solve the mystery and right a terrible wrong.

This is an ex-library hardback edition with intact dust jacket encased in plastic cover. The book measures 5-3.4″ x 8-1/2″ x 1″ with 234 pages.
