The name of the book is Dustbin Baby by Jacqueline Wilson.
April Showers (so called because of her birth date, April 1, and her tendency to burst into tears at the drop of a hat) was found in a dustbin when she was still new-born. She sets off to find the people who took care of her, and tries to find her mother. She finds a note on the dustbin near the pizza place, where she was found. Was it the man who found her, or her mum?
I picked up the book, and read it when ever I had a chance. You start with knowing nothing about her, then you get more. When you finish the book, there is a lot you know about her.
I recommend this book to any age, really. But I think it would be best for 10+.
