520    Kabir has been in jail since the day he was born because 
       his mom is serving time for a crime she didn't commit. 
       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. --|cFrom dust jacket.
