Book Excerpt
McKenzie and Lizzie land safely in a
field, surrounded by roses of all lovely colors. These are not just regular red
roses but also white roses with pinkish lining, orange ones, and purple roses!
“I wonder where
we are,” Lizzie says, looking around.
McKenzie leans over to smell and
exhales slowly. “I wish I could bring these back to my mom.”
Lizzie gently pulls McKenzie’s hand
away. “Be careful. You know what happens when you touch things you aren’t
supposed to.”
McKenzie can avoid getting tagged at
lightning speed and climbs a fence with the grace of a ballerina, but there are
times when objects surrender to her touch.
As McKenzie continues to sniff and
touch the rose petals, a few fall to the ground. McKenzie pulls her hand away
and motions sideways toward Lizzie, who is giving her the “you did it again”
look.
Out of the brightly colored roses a little girl appears.
“Don’t be
afraid. Princess Lovina sent me. I’m Lucia!” the girl greets them happily. “Hola! That means hello in Spanish.”
Lucia has long, straight hair that she wears in a ponytail. She
is carrying a bright pink backpack and wearing a locket that looks just
like Lizzie’s and McKenzie’s.
“Where are we?”
McKenzie asks.
“You are at the
Rose Garden Parque del Oeste. This garden has over six hundred types of roses
from all over the world. You came at the most perfect time, because it’s May
and the International Competition for New Roses is going on. The winning rose
gets to remain in the garden permanently.”
“But where are
we?” Lizzie impatiently wonders.
“You’re in the
city of Madrid, which is the capital of the country of Spain,” Lucia explains.
“Madrid?”
McKenzie says, unable to contain her excitement.
“Spain?” Lizzie’s mouth hangs open as she’s
captured speechless.
“¿Cómo se llaman ustedes?” Lucia asks.
“That means what are your names? Spanish is our official language, but we also
speak English.”
