| Abstract | Motti knows that war is coming. Israel is only ninteen years old - the same age as Motti's brave older brother, Gideon - and the tiny country is surrounded by enemies. Motti wishes he could join the Israeli army like Gideon and be a hero. But when his best friend's family flees the country and his brother goes off to fight, Motti realizes this war isn't a game. Hope comes to Motti in unexpected forms. In the kind Ethiopian priest who lives nearby. In his grouchy neighbor, old Mrs. Friedburg. In the young Germans who come to offer help. In his father's childhood friend, a Jordanian man. Even in a scrappy stray cat that roams the bombed city without fear. Motti knows his older brother is a hero - but through the six days of the war that will decide Israel's fate, he discovers other heroes in surprising places. He may even be a hero himself. -- from dust jacket. |
