Their cellmates are his only friends, and he's never even met his dad. The one place he feels a little bit free is the prison classroom, where his teacher delights him with stories of the outside world's wonders. When the new warden announces that Kabir is too old to stay, he's suddenly released--without his mom--to fend for himself on the city streets of Chennai. Fortunately, Rani, another street kid, takes him under her wing and helps him eke out a living, even sharing the tree she calls home. Plotting their futures is difficult and dangerous in a world that doesn't value low-caste kids like them, but Rani has enough confidence for two, plus a trusty slingshot that comes in handy for hunting meals and handling bullies. This isn't quite the life Kabir dreamed of; still, he's discovered he's not the type to give up. Justice needs to be served, and he's determined to show the world that he--and his mom--deserve a place in it. -- $c From dust jacket. 650 0 $a Prisoners' families $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Homeless persons $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Street children $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a India $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Prisoners' families $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Homeless persons $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Street children $v Fiction. 651 1 $a India $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Familles de prisonniers $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 650 6 $a Sans-abri $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 650 6 $a Enfants de la rue $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION $x Asia. $x Asia. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION $x Homelessness & Poverty. $x Homelessness & Poverty. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION $x New Experience. $x New Experience. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Homeless persons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959445 650 7 $a Prisoners' families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077260 650 7 $a Street children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01134655 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 650 7 $a Homeless persons $v Juvenile fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Homeless persons $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a India $v Juvenile fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a India $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Children's stories. 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01982507 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 700 1 $a Bricking, Jennifer, $e illustrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230411012741.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FA0714ED82E11ED9D4759DE5AECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
