Description

Trash is described by the Daily Mail as "A Slumdog, feel-good treasure find".

This acclaimed novel has been adapted into a Bafta-nominated film directed by Steven Daldry and written by Richard Curtis.

Raphael lives on a dumpsite, eking out a living by sifting through rubbish. One unlucky-lucky day, he makes an extraordinary and deadly discovery. Now, he and his two friends, Gardo and Rat, are wanted by the corrupt forces that run the city and will stop at nothing to retrieve what they've lost.

From the slums to the mansions of the elite, it's going to take all of their quick-thinking and fast-talking to stay ahead—and to stay alive.
