A search for treasure reveals the toxic consequences of modern life in this thrilling adventure set against the backdrop of the world’s largest e-waste dump.				 
Theo lives and works in Agbogbloshie in Ghana, a vast dumping ground for the world’s broken electronics. He spends his days scouring the trash for scraps of metal to sell for cash, while dreaming of going to school and escaping this harsh life. The money Theo makes is barely enough to pay for lessons, so when Emmanuel turns up with talk of buried treasure, Theo sees a chance to get out of Trashland.				 
But Emmanuel’s presence draws the attention of a local gang, and Theo starts to wonder if his new friend is keeping dangerous secrets …				 
For fans of Andy Griffiths (The 78-Storey Treehouse), Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), Dav Pilkey (Dog Man), Tom Fletcher (The Christmasaurus), and Cressida Cowell (Which Way Round the Galaxy).
