The Garbage King x 6 Award-winning author Pack by Elizabeth Laird (author) (UK edition)

Dani and Mamo live on the streets of Addis Ababa, fighting for survival in a world where they have nothing. Mamo has escaped from a child-trafficker who has sold him into slavery. Dani is a very different type of runaway, fleeing from his cruel father. Are courage and determination enough to keep them alive when all the odds are against them? Inspired by the true story of an African child living on the edge of destitution, Elizabeth Laird’s wonderful book will take you on an incredible emotional journey.
