The the Instructions

"Beginning with a chance encounter with the beautiful Eliza June Watermark and ending, four days and 900 pages latter, with the Events of November 17, this is the story of Girion Maccabee, age ten: a lover, a fighter, a scholar, and a truly spectacular talker. Ejected from three Jewish day schools for acts of violence and messianic tendencies, Gurion ends up in the Cage, a special lockdown program for the most hopeless cases of Aptakisic Junior High. Separated from his scholarly followers, Gurion becomes a leader of a very sort, with righteous aims building to a revolution of troubling intensity."--Provided by publisher.
