Description: "Is a Givoni really hiding with a candle, somewhere in a dark cave near Yerushalayim? Perhaps he is gone, but his story remains ... Four children set out for a hike in the hills of Yerushalayim. A string of events leaves them stuck deep inside a cave with a broken flashlight, hearts pounding with fear, and a mysterious message written on the wall. Interpreting the message leads them back into an ancient era ... From the perspective of a Givoni child, they watch as the Land of Canaan prepares for war with Bnei Yisrael. They see the giants whose menace overshadows the banks of the Yarden; the impenetrable walls of Yericho; the warriors of Ai who thought themselves invincible; and most of all - the holy forces of Bnei Yisrael, led by Yehoshua ben Nun, approaching from beyond the Yarden to inherit Eretz Yisrael, as Hashem promised their forefathers"--Back cover
