Kelsey And the Quest of the Porcelain Doll (2014)
“It was red with white polka dots. Then she dressed her Barbie in a new outfit too. She thought Shakila would like it: bright pink shorts and a shirt.
Mum walked in with folded washing. ‘Are you coming to the clinic today? Later we can go to the bazaar to buy cloth for the ladies’ sewing lessons.’ ‘I can’t, Mum. If I go with Dad he will drop me at Shakila’s. Look.’ She held up the Barbie. ‘I want to give this to her. She doesn’t have any dolls at all.’ Her mum hesitated. ‘All right,’ she sai...d. ‘But be careful. Don’t drink any water in their house. Tea and soft drinks are okay.’ Mum said there were bugs in the water that gave tummy upsets and she boiled their water before they drank it. ‘Don’t go too close to the river without an adult.’ Kelsey wasn’t sure she’d manage the last bit. All the adults at Shakila’s house looked too busy to take children to the river. It was even Shakila who looked after her little brother.
‘Thanks, Mum.’ Kelsey grabbed her drink bottle, lunch and backpack, and a notebook and pencil for Raza too.MoreLess
