Sure enough, he spends all day surrounded by scary ogres and fearsome dragons. Then, one of them offers him some of her lunch
With this gesture of friendship, Edward is inspired to take a chance and remove his armor.

When Ashley Emma was a small child, she knew she wanted to become an author. When she was 20, she decided to stay with Amish families to do research for her writing.
This journal captures her unique experience and the friendships she made with the Amish in Unity, Maine, who opened their homes and their hearts to this curious, young author.
(PLEASE NOTE: The writing style of this research project will reflect the age of the author at that time and is very different from her USA Today Bestselling Amish novels.)
Ever wondered what it would be like to stay inside an Amish home, make Amish friends, or go to an Amish wedding? Now you can experience what everyday Amish life actually looks like in this journal. This updated, improved version now has 90+ photos from Amish communities in Maine and Pennsylvania.
Come along on the fascinating journey as Ashley learns everything she can about the Amish as she rides in buggies, shells buckets of peanuts, attends Amish church services, helps make 100 quarts of applesauce, learns Amish customs, teaches in the schoolhouse, visits an Amish family in Lancaster, and attends an Amish wedding. Most of all, she befriends the Amish in both Maine and Lancaster, Pennsylvania who let her ask them questions for her research.
What does an Amish home look like inside? What happens at an Amish wedding? How do rules in Amish communities differ? Why do the Amish live the way they do? This journal will not just answer these questions, they will show you what it truly means to be Amish.
You will see a week of Amish life through the eyes of a young woman who admires and respects this wonderful group of people.
Ashley Emma used the research from this book to write her 10+ bestselling Amish novels. Now, 10 years later, she is now a USA Today Bestselling Author and feels that she owes her entire career to the Amish of Unity, Maine.

Автор: Kwok, Jean Название: Girl in Translation ISBN: 1594485151 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781594485152 Издательство: Random House (USA) Рейтинг: Цена: 10420.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: From the author of Searching for Sylvie Lee, the iconic, New York Times-bestselling debut novel that introduced an important Chinese-American voice with an inspiring story of an immigrant girl forced to choose between two worlds and two futures. When Kimberly Chang and her mother emigrate from Hong Kong to Brooklyn squalor, she quickly begins a secret double life: exceptional schoolgirl during the day, Chinatown sweatshop worker in the evenings. Disguising the more difficult truths of her life--like the staggering degree of her poverty, the weight of her family's future resting on her shoulders, or her secret love for a factory boy who shares none of her talent or ambition--Kimberly learns to constantly translate not just her language but herself back and forth between the worlds she straddles. Through Kimberly's story, author Jean Kwok, who also emigrated from Hong Kong as a young girl, brings to the page the lives of countless immigrants who are caught between the pressure to succeed in America, their duty to their family, and their own personal desires, exposing a world that we rarely hear about. Written in an indelible voice that dramatizes the tensions of an immigrant girl growing up between two cultures, surrounded by a language and world only half understood, Girl in Translation is an unforgettable and classic novel of an American immigrant-a moving tale of hardship and triumph, heartbreak and love, and all that gets lost in translation.
