Description 215 pages ; 20 cm Summary Three friends, Raphael, Gardo and Rat, live on a mountainous heap of trash in a third-world country's dump, sifting the rubbish for useful things they can sell or eat. One day Raphael finds something extraordinary--a deadly secret. From that moment they are hunted without mercy. With danger snatching at their heels, the boys are chased from the city's dirty gutters to its wealthy avenues. But they can't run forever. They need a miracle.--Publisher Notes Originally published: 2010 Carnegie Medal shortlisted nominee, 2012 Subject Manual scavengers -- Fiction. Political corruption -- Juvenile fiction.
