Israel is only nineteen years old--the same age as Motti's brave older brother, Gideon--and the tiny country is surrounded by enemies. It's only a matter of time before Egypt, Jordan and Syria attack. 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. His family is in danger, and Israel's very survival is at stake. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But 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 who harbors none of the hate Motti expects. Even in a scrappy stray cat that roams the bombed city without fear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kar-Ben Publishing (R)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781512428568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2017 pg. 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2017 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2018 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e187293 \/ Six-Day Hero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tammar Stein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589923074229,"sku":"9781512428568","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2656a927-1dcb-4490-ad83-c8befef1fbbc.jpg?v=1724734128","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-six-day-hero-9781512428568","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
