(3) K-3 Illustrated by Isabelle Malenfant. In an unspecified city, impoverished siblings Pablo and Sofia are pepenadores (scavengers) who look through garbage to find recyclables and items of value. When Pablo finds a real "treasure," a gold chain, he cleverly hides it from predatory "Filthy-Face." Inherently grim but eye-opening and moving, this story about third-world poverty is complemented by its smudgy, sketchlike drawings, illuminated by a few rays of color.
