(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Akash dreams of studying mathematics. Knowing his prospects for a good education are dim, he flees his small desert village in India for Delhi, becoming one of the many children scavenging the streets for food and shelter. Akash is an appealing hero for this urban survival story, driving the tale through dangerous situations and unlikely comrades to a happy conclusion.
