For those interested in "real" life of the minority Christian garbage collectors of Cairo, although this book was intended for young people, it brings to life the smells, sounds, and hardships of these people. I purchased the book because I once spent a day in the their village and saw some that the author describes. Unfortunately, most who have visited Cairo as tourists see only the "colorful" donkey carts as they make their way through the heavy traffic of the city. They should read this book.
