From award-winning and beloved
children's author Elizabeth Laird comes a stunning edition of The
Garbage King, with a cover illustration by Zeamanuel Abera, an author
letter and additional content from the author, including discussion
notes. Inspired by the true story of an Ethiopian childhood lived on
the edge of destitution, it takes you on an unforgettable emotional
journey.
When Mamo's mother dies, he is abandoned in the shanties of Addis
Ababa. Stolen by a child-trafficker and sold to a farmer, he is cruelly
treated. Escaping back to the city, he meets another, very different
runaway. Dani is rich, educated - and fleeing his tyrannical father.
Together they join a gang of homeless street boys who survive only by
mutual bonds of trust and total dependence on each other.
