The Covenant (Paperback)

All Zeke wants to do is make it through school without attracting too much notice; after all, it isn't the teachers but a gang of bullies who run the school. He is one of the smartest kids in middle school and on the shorter side of average height. This, added to the fact that he has no friends since he moved, makes Zeke stand out as an easy target to the gang's unwelcome attention.

One afternoon, as he walks home, he discovers an old box blending in with a pile of trash. Curiosity gets the better of Zeke, and he takes the box home. Little does he know that it holds the key to life-changing truths. Sorting the trinkets and notes, he realizes the box contains a series of clues-if only Zeke can figure them out.

Armed with a pile of notes, a box of trinkets, a Bible he's never read in his life, and a head full of questions, Zeke sets out to unravel the mystery. The Messiah Brigade forms to help him out, but will they be in time? And will they be able to use what they've discovered to change their school and stop the Neanderthal gang of bullies once and for all?
