Kelsey And The Quest Of The Porcelain Doll (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
There was only one way to visit Mr Waheed’s house and it was by water. Kelsey and her dad walked to the river’s edge and saw a young man sitting in a small wooden boat. It had flowers and birds and fish painted in bright colours on every plank. Kelsey thought she’d like to make a cardboard boat and paint it just like that. ‘Waheed sent me, janab,’ the man said. ‘I am his youngest brother, Izaak.’ He held out his hand to help Kelsey in. After she and her dad sat down, Izaak started the motor. Everywhere Kelsey looked there was brown murky water and things floating by: branches of trees, mattresses, furniture and even something white and furry. They were nearing a village in the middle of the river. ‘Look.’ Kelsey pointed. ‘An island.’ ‘It wasn’t always an island,’ Dad said. ‘It’s a hill really. This is how high the floodwater has come.’ Kelsey peered into the water again. It was so muddy she couldn’t see well, but there must be houses down there.
