He's never met his dad, so the only family he's got are their cellmates, and the only place he feels the least bit free is in the classroom, where his kind teacher regales him with stories of the wonders of the outside world. Then one day a new warden arrives and announces Kabir is too old to stay. He gets handed over to a long-lost "uncle" who unfortunately turns out to be a fraud, and intends to sell Kabir. So Kabir does the only thing he can--run away as fast as his legs will take him. How does a boy with nowhere to go and no connections make his way? Fortunately, he befriends Rani, another street kid, and she takes him under her wing. But plotting their next move is hard--and fraught with danger--in a world that cares little for homeless, low caste children. This is not the world Kabir dreamed of--but he's discovered he's not the type to give up. Kabir is ready to show the world that he--and his mother--deserve a place in it"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 10-14 $b Thorndike Press. 521 $a Grades 4-6 $b Thorndike Press. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Prisoners' families $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Homeless persons $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Street children $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032930.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30FF8EE8673311EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
