Nana's Magic Tea Berries by Marlys A. Rold
Chapbook for Tweens excerpt page 1

Eight year old Kimberly Hudson turned over and opened her eyes, as the first fine rays of dawn came creeping softly into her room from the window beside her bed.  A smile lifted the corners of her mouth.  A sunny day was a perfect day to explore.  Another day filled with adventure.  A day that would suit her just fine, thank you very much, no matter what her brothers thought. 

It was the family's second week at her mother's old family home.  They came to visit Kimberly's grandmother and explore the tiny town of Shelby on the southern coast of California for the first time since she'd been born.   

Yesterday, to her delight, Kimberly found treasure in the cluttered, dusty attic.  Once she talked her mother into letting her explore the rambling upper section of the three-story house, she spent the day opening old steamer trunks, trying on antique cloths from the early nineteen hundreds, opening lacy parasols, and reading yellowed love letters.  Sweet letters her grandfather had sent her grandmother. 

Kyle and Scotty, her younger brothers, were not interested in a bunch of “dusty old junk”, so Kimberly had the attic all to herself, which proved to be a very good thing indeed.

            Eight year old Kimberly Hudson discovers a world where dreams come true.  While rummaging through her grandmother's attic she finds a drawer full of small jars of different kinds of tea--some berries, some leaves--but all are magical, although she doesn't realize this at first.
