Beginning with a chance encounter with the beautiful Elza June Watermark and ending, four days and 900 pages later, with Events of November 17, this is the story of Gurion Maccabee, äge ten:a lover, a fighter, a solar, and a truly spectacular talker. Expelled from two Jewish day-schools for acts of violent messianic tendencies, Turion ends up the Cage, a special lockdown program for the most hopeless case of Aptakisic Junior High. Separated from his scholarly followers, Gurion becomes a leader of a very different sort, with righteous aims building to a revolution of troubling intensity.
