Quotes:
Joshua A. Beal: Before this year, bullies were just bullies for no reason, weirdos were just weird, and daredevils weren't afraid of anything. Before this year, people I loved lived forever. I spent this year looking for something and wound up seeing everything around me. It's like I was asleep before and finally woke up. Know what? I'm wide-awake now.
[last lines]::Joshua A. Beal: My name is Joshua A. Beal. I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And I believe two things. Not all angels have wings. And sixth grade's got to be easier than this.
Frank Benton: Hey Josh, is today tomorrow?::Joshua A. Beal: No Frank, tomorrow's tomorrow. Today's today, and tomorrow's tomorrow.
Joshua A. Beal: My question is about my Aunt Denise. She's not baptized, so that means she's going to Hell right?::Sister Terry: Uh, no, actually she's not, Joshua.::Joshua A. Beal: And my dad's best friend, he's not baptized either, and that means *he's* going to hell.

Sister Terry: Joshua, why do you feel the need to do these things?
Mrs. Beal: [waking him] Joshua. Joshua. Joshua, *please*, you're a 5th grader today, you're almost a man.
Joshua A. Beal: Those are the kids in my class. Kids in uniforms don't smile very much.
Joshua A. Beal: [looking across into girl's play yard] I don't know why they put this fence up. Why would anyone what to go over there, anyway?
Mr. Beal: Joshua, the pope is not God.::Joshua A. Beal: I know that, but he's his best friend.::Mr. Beal: We're not going to Rome.
Sister Terry: Every day at sunset you'd bow your head to the east and pray, is that right?::Joshua A. Beal: Uh, I stopped that.::Sister Terry: Okay, well what did you think about when you prayed?::Joshua A. Beal: Nothing mostly. Sometimes, I'd wonder... what made that smell in the carpet?

They announce that they want to spend their vacation in the farm ... "We are from capital, we will pay". This quiet vacation turns out to be a frantic day with romance, unexpected turns and fisticuffs between suitors.

They are then left in the uncaring care of Kamla, their aunt, who moonlights as a prostitute. She is cruel,abusive and forces them to take to a life of begging on the local trains, on beaches and crowded areas in Bombay.

Their circumstances face more uncertainty when Kamla finds out about their new-found profession, beats them up and throws them out of the house. They temporarily seek shelter with John, but when he is arrested, they have to fend for themselves. Things become bad to worse when Bombay enters the monsoon season, when people do not get their shoes shined; then the duo are separated - with Belu ending up with a rich family, and when she asks about Bhola, she is told that he is dead. The question remains is Bhola really dead, if not, what has been his fate?
