Trash by Andy Mulligan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


As dump site boys, they've been picking trash since they could walk and probably will continue to pick trash until they are too old to climb the heaps.  They live off what the find for food or to recycle for cash.  Most of what they find is scat until one day they make "the big find".  Their lives are about to get very dangerous, very exciting and in the end very happily ever after (for the most part) if they can survive that long.

I could not put this book down! It was like a train wreck; disturbing, but I had to find out what happens next so I kept reading.  LOVE their finally solution for "the find"!  And since most of the characters come out unscathed in the end, I can say that I actually liked it once I finished it.
