This discovery leads to a huge adventure that changes their lives. Early in the book the boys discover a small leather bag containing a wallet, a folded up map and a key. Their lives consist of sifting through the rubbish, day after day, trying to find anything valuable that they can sell. Raphael and his friends live on a huge dump site, in a fictional city which is probably supposed to be in Latin America. The story grabbed me from page one when one of the main characters, Raphael, introduces himself and his situation in very frank language, and you realise that this book is going to be about a world of which you (fortunately) have no previous knowledge.
