false <![CDATA[The Conch Bearer]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172802492m/219181.jpg 219181 16 In a dingy shack in the less-than-desirable Indian neighborhood he calls home, twelve-year-old Anand is entrusted with a conch shell that possesses mystical powers. His task is to return the shell to its rightful home many hundreds of miles away. Accompanying him are Nisha, a headstrong but resourceful child of the streets, and a mysterious man of indeterminate age and surprising resources named Abadhyatta. His quest will take him farther from home than he's ever been and will teach him more than he ever imagined -- and it will force him to make a poignant decision that will change him forever.<P> 1213131 2003 The Conch Bearer total:375|5:98|4:118|3:112|2:37|1:10| 375 1382 504 61 3 1 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 02 22:03:24 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 02 22:17:53 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Sep 15 00:16:53 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 00:18:24 -0700 2009 Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
