Three street boys take on the world in this fast-paced, exciting, intensely moving story.

"One of my favourite novels of 2010, now in paperback with a new cover look. Reminiscent of Slumdog Millionaire, three dumpsite boys take on the world in this gripping and intensely moving story ... Harrowing, exhilarating, humbling and quite brilliant" -- Fiona Noble The Bookseller 20110128 "Outstanding, hotly anticipated thriller ... an exceptionally satisfying plot" -- Amanda Craig The Times "Trash is a brilliant book. It's vibrant, exciting and incrediby well-written" -- John Boyne "Wonderful - an exciting story with engaging characters told in a clever way with spare but lyrical prose ... Trash comes highly recommended by me, and I don't have time to say any more about it because I'm off to read it again. And after that, I might read it again. And then again. You read it too" The Bookbag "A thriller with moral weight and a complex structure" Financial Times 20100911
