{"product_id":"my-guardian-angel-9780827612112","title":"My Guardian Angel","description":"The streets are eerily empty, and everyone in the Jewish community is terrified of Peter the Hermit. His men, the Crusaders, are moving through the town on their way to the Holy Land. They have been known to batter down doors and burn Jewish houses, all in the name of religion.\u003cbr\u003e This is not Nazi Germany but Troyes, France, in 1096, as seen through the eyes of funny, feisty, twelve-year-old Elvina. She is the granddaughter of the great rabbi Rashi, and she knows how to read and write--which is very rare for a girl of her time. She draws strength from this, as well as from her guardian angel, to whom she regularly speaks.\u003cbr\u003e On a cold Sabbath afternoon while Elvina is alone in the house, three soldiers pound at her door. One of them is wounded. Elvina has only a moment to make a difficult choice that could put her family and the entire community at risk. Can her guardian angel guide her and keep her safe?\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMy Guardian Angel\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of compassion and tolerance that speaks clearly to readers of all faiths. Elvina's voice lingers long in memory, and her courage and humor long in the heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSylvie Weil is the author of several works of adult fiction and the Elvina trilogy, a series of French novels for young adults.
