(3) YA Life for fifteen-year-old Aaron, who picks through the garbage piles of Cairo, Egypt, looking for pieces of glass to resell, is hard enough--then he's disowned by his family for stealing. This story of abject third-world poverty is a grippingly realistic version of stories with a more speculative nature, namely Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi and Trash by Andy Mulligan.
