The Instructions, Bk. 3 - Soldier (Paperback)

Meet Gurion Maccabee. He's ten years old, a lover, a brother, a soldier and the smartest kid you'll ever meet. Gurion has been expelled from three Jewish day-schools for acts of violence and messianic tendencies. He ends up in the Cage, a special lockdown program for the most hopeless cases at his new junior high school. But in just four days, from the moment he meets the beautiful Eliza June Watermark to the terrifying Events of November 17, Gurion's search for righteousness sparks a violent, unstoppable rebellion. Driven equally by moral fervour and teenage exuberance, The Instructions is hilarious, troubling, empathetic, monumental, breakneck, romantic and unforgettable. In Book 3, the Gurionic War begins. Gurion leads The Side of Damage against The Arrangement - teachers, the unjust, the unbelievers. To strengthen his army, he must call in old friends ...but can he even rely on his new friends?
