From the publishers who brought you THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS and THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, comes another story that transcends reading ages and leaps literary fences.

Raphael is a dumpsite boy. He spends his days wading through mountains of steaming trash, sifting it, sorting it, breathing it, sleeping next to it.

Then one unlucky-lucky day, Raphael's world turns upside down. A small leather bag falls into his hands. It's a bag of clues. It's a bag of hope. It's a bag that will change everything.

Soon Raphael and his friends Gardo and Rat are running for their lives. Wanted by the police, it takes all their quick-thinking, fast-talking to stay ahead. As the net tightens, they uncover a dead man's mission to put right a terrible wrong.

Three street-boys against the world - can they win?
