Peanut Butter Friends in a Chop Suey World

By Deb Brammer

Description:

Amy is excited to move to Taiwan with her parents and become a real missionary, but she soon finds that being a missionary is a lot different than she thought it would be.  The neighborhood girls laugh at her, and Sunday services at the Chinese church become an ordeal. It seems that the only place she feels comfortable is at the English-speaking school with her peanut butter friends.

Book Takeaway:

Learn to value different kinds of friends who can each be special in their own way.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to show the adjustments missionary kids make when they leave America to live in a country which is very different from their own.
