I'm   stuck between poop and school, and I don't know what to do. Dadu, this is all   for you.'
     Anu and his grandfather are happiest together, birdwatching in the forest   near their home in Seattle, waiting for the barred owl to show up. One day   Dadu suddenly dies in the woods, but his see-through spirit stays with Anu.   He is desperate to get his grandfather back from the gods. With his best   friend Unger, the daring Izzy Mumu next door and help from the Internet, Anu   sets out to turn holy enough to perform great wonders. He visits a graveyard,   shaves his head like a sadhu, lives on offerings of sandwiches and water, and   rolls all the way to school-through rain and poop-like Ludkan Baba. In the   end, the only hope he has left is Karnak, the awesome magician at the Mystery   Museum on Divine Island . . .
     What happens when Anu finally finds himself face-to-face with Karnak-and a   truth that he cannot escape? Find out in this warm and funny story about how   a boy deals with being foreign, being bald and being separated from someone   he loves like crazy.
