Trash

This book is about a dubmsite boy named Raphael Fernandez, living on top of a heap of trash. *I'm infering that he is poor due to the fact that he lives in a pile of rubbish.* He collects trash, hoping to find something precious. His non-biological big brother Gardo, has been picking up rubbish since the age of three.  In the book, the word stuppa, means 'I'm sorry if I offended', 
The author, Andy Mulligan, has included the materials and objects the two boys come across as they dig through the trash.
