The year: 2027. The place: everywhere.
Life might be easier for most people in 2027 but for Ana Devi, whose only home is the streets of New Delhi, it's a battle for survival. She's certainly never dreamed of visiting the bright virtual worlds of the
Web. And when her brother is kidnapped the Web is the last thing she is thinking about. But the Web holds the secret to what has happened to her brother and to dozens of other New Delhi street children.
How can Ana possibly find enough money to access the Web when she can barely beg enough to eat each day? Who will help her when her caste means that no one will even touch her? Somehow she must find a way or she will never see her brother again.
