Winner of the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship, Daniel Quinn's <b>Ishmael</b> is a bestseller and a testament for a burgeoning spiritual movement.&#160;&#160;Now Quinn presents an extraordinary sequel, a companion novel so startlingly original that even Ishmael's most faithful readers will not predict its outcome....<br><br>When Ishmael places an advertisement for pupils with &quot;an earnest desire to save the world,&quot; he does not expect a child to answer him.&#160;&#160;But twelve-year-old Julie Gerchak is undaunted by Ishmael's reluctance to teach someone so young, and convinces him to take her on as his next student.&#160;&#160;Ishmael knows he can't apply the same strategies with Julie that he used with his first pupil, Alan Lomax--nor can he hope for the same outcome.&#160;&#160;But young Julie proves that she is ready to forge her own spiritual path--and arrive at her own destination.&#160;&#160;And when the time comes to choose a pupil to carry out his greatest mission yet, Ishmael makes a daring decision--a choice that just might change the world.
