Mackenzie, Lost and Found by Deborah Kerbel
4.0
what an amazing and sweet love story.
Mackenzie (Muck-and-zee) was born and raised in Canada. Suddenly, her dad moves the to Israel and she is plunked right into a new world. A new culture, language, customs and deep rooted religious beliefs.
and she is female - not the safest thing to do. She doesn't know right from wrong or even how to communicate.
So she doesn't stray far from her front door, just mainly stumbling to the local corner store. And her gum and candy habit isn't what brings her there.
Meet Nasir. A boy raised Muslim in Jerusalem. He's instantly drawn to Mackenzie. He knows English and wishes every day to speak to her. But he's terrified of doing it - knowing his parents would never approve and that it would never be allowed. And he knows what others think of him and his faith.
A coming of age set in the beautiful landscape of Israel. It's a lovely story and I enjoyed it. I would have loved at least 200 more pages ;)
