Class Novel - Trash!

At the start of term 2 we have been reading a class novel called "Trash", the author of the book was Andy Mulligan. I really enjoyed the book because it was about children who were living on a dump site, the dump site was at Behala and was called "Smokey Mountain". In fact Smokey Mountain is actually located in the Philippines at Manila. It was called Smokey Mountain because there is a lot of trash getting burned, and that's where it got it's name from.

Anyways there were 3 main characters in the story; Jun-Jun (also called Rat), Raphael, and Gardo. They went through difficult challenges together, one is having no money for food, and having a bad shelter. Although, one day Raphael was working through the dump site and found a bag that had 100,000 thousand pesos. Raphael told Rat and Gardo about the bag. But then cops started arriving at the dump site searching for the bag, they offered the people who finds the bag money. Although Raphael didn't tell the cops that he had the bag because he might go to jail. Now they're in big trouble, if you want to know what happens next. I highly recommend you to read the book if possible because, I really enjoyed it and I think you would too. There is also a movie made about Trash, but I haven't seen it yet. Anyways I hope you enjoyed!
