"Extraordinary...a hugely compassionate and sophisticated novel about inclusion and exclusion." - The Observer
"Stayed with me long after I finished it...a hard-to-put-down tale of tweenage derring-do." - The Guardian
Landfill has lived his whole life as a scavenger, running with wooflings, swimming with turtles and feasting on whatever he can catch.

Acerca del autor
Darren Simpson lives in Nottingham with his wife and two mischievous boys, and spends most of his time pretending he knows what he's doing. After not quite making it as a drummer in a rock band, Darren turned to writing and discovered that it's a fun way not only to escape reality, but also to explore and confront it in unusual ways. He can usually be found lost in his headphones or eating cake mix with a spoon.
