A unique coming-of-age story with a jaw-dropping secret at its heart, Scavengers is an unforgettable, contemporary twist on The Jungle Book meets Stig of the Dump.
"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.
Old Babagoo has always looked after him, on one condition. Follow Babagoo's rules. And the most important rule of all is NEVER go beyond the wall. But Landfill longs to venture Outside. And some rules are made to be broken.
Darren Simpson's exhilarating storytelling will make you think about the world differently in this urgent, compelling tale for our times.

À propos de l'auteur
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.
