Rendition Supposing Books Trash
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. Andy Mulligan has written a powerful story about unthinkable poverty—and the kind of hope and determination that can transcend it. With twists and turns, unrelenting action, and deep, raw emotion, Trash is a heart-pounding, breath-holding novel.Rating Containing Books Trash

u are what u readBrilliant, wonderful, great fun. Not a large book, just around 200+ pages, but like our diminutive central characters, BIG on just the right amount of enjoyment, suspense, adventure and a whole lot of heart. Reminded me of my school-days of blissful times with daring juvenile mystery-adventures. Our tiny heroes are dirty dumpsite boys, the lowest of the low of a fictional poor third-world country, but they proved again and again in every page that it was the rich, corrupt, 'big' people who were
I thought that Trash is a book where the level of fascination builds up as the book goes on. At first, when the characters are being constructed, it seems a little bit dull. But as you move on, the story becomes really cool with deep secrets keep getting revealed. The way the story is told is also very interesting; the book's almost like a collection of journals, with multiple characters' perspectives and aspects of the story. So overall this book was really cool, and I enjoyed it very much.
While this book started off good it went downhill. I overall did not like this book very though it was cool how it showed the perspective of people who live in junkyards. I honestly would not have finished it if I hadn't had to for book club.
I read/taught this book two years ago. It has a fast-paced plot about "dumpsite boys" who wade through mountains of garbage each day in order to make a living. Then they accidentally discover something that changes everything. Many of the details are harsh and based on actual people and places. One of my former students had an older sister who had Andy Mulligan, the author, as an English teacher when they lived in the Philippines. So, as a gift, Mulligan gave the older sister an early manuscript
Three boys Gardo,Raphael, and Rat find something in the trash and now have to solve the mystery and where it will lead them. I enjoyed how this book had many Turing and unsuspecting twists. This book got me sucked in and didn't want to even put it down. I also enjoyed the Characters in this book and how outgoing they are. However I did dislike some things in this book such as how quickly the ending went by, I wish the author explained more toward the end of the book with more details. I also
Well, I heard about this book and it seemed like an interesting concept. Then my friend read it and he told me that I had to read it because he read a book I picked out last time. I must say: reading this book was torture for me. I finished it over 2 days and that was w/ me skimming over the 2nd 1/2.The characters weren't really developed enough for me. And the book is told through the different characters POV which I usually like. But the writing wasn't that great therefore it didn't draw me
