"Do you know what you just drank," Holly giggled, looking mischievously at Kate, "a whole quart of fizzy lifting drink!"
Kate Greenaway
She is a young girl trying to find a replacement for a lost toy. She is imaginative, impulsive, and emotional. Kate accidentally drinks a large quantity of a mysterious drink, leading to a bizarre reaction where she becomes extremely tall and experiences a range of physical transformations. Despite the chaos, she attempts to maintain her composure and handle the situation with humor and determination.
Holly
She is Kate's friend who lives next door. She is adventurous, playful, and mischievous. Holly encourages Kate to try the mysterious drink, knowing it might be risky. She joins Kate in exploring the consequences of drinking it, and together they navigate the unusual experience with laughter and bravery. Her involvement adds a layer of friendship and camaraderie to the events unfolding in Kate's life.
Mr. Bracklesham
He is the owner of the candy shop where Kate and Holly obtain the mysterious drink. He is eccentric, businesssavvy, and enigmatic. Mr. Bracklesham sells the drink under the name "Euphorium" without fully disclosing its effects. His demeanor adds to the mystery surrounding the drink, and he seems more focused on selling it than addressing any concerns raised by Kate and Holly during their visit.
"Do you know what you just drank?"
Holly giggled.
"A whole quart of fizzy lifting drink!"
I looked down at the empty bottle in my hand.
It was true.
I had drunk the whole thing in one long gulp.
I didn’t even know what it was supposed to taste like.
All I knew was that it had been cold and fizzy, two qualities I liked a lot.
But now that it was down my throat, I wasn’t so sure.
"Do you feel anything yet?"
Holly asked.
I shook my head.
"No."
Just as I said it, I felt something.
At first, it was hard to describe.
It was a sensation of lifting, of rising off the ground.
I felt weightless and free, like a helium balloon carried away by the wind.
My stomach lurched, and I felt like I was going to throw up.
I looked down and saw that my sneakers were dangling in the air, inches above the sidewalk.
I was floating!
"Holly!"
I squeaked.
She grabbed my hand and tried to pull me back down.
But instead of pulling me down, she started floating too.
We rose higher and higher, past the awning of the candy shop and into the air.
We giggled nervously as we floated over the street.
The bottle was still clutched in my hand, and I could feel the fizzy drink bubbling inside me.
It was making us float!
I didn’t know what to do.
Should we try to get down?
Or should we just go with it?
Holly grabbed onto a lamppost as we floated by, but her knuckles were white with fear.
The lamppost creaked under our weight, and I knew it wouldn’t hold us for long. The fizzy drink was still bubbling inside me, pushing us higher and higher.
My heart pounded in my chest as we rose past the second-story windows of the candy shop.
I could see Mrs. Bracklesham’s face pressed up against the glass, her eyes wide with shock.
She dropped a tray of candies as she watched us float by.
And then I heard it - a loud creaking sound coming from the lamppost.
Holly’s grip slipped, and she screamed my name as she fell through the air.
I watched helplessly as she tumbled downward, her body flipping and twisting in mid-air.
My heart felt like it was going to explode out of my chest.
But then I saw her land safely on Mr. Peterson’s striped awning below.
It was a soft landing, and she bounced up and down like she was on a trampoline.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but only for a moment.
The fizzy sensation in my stomach was getting stronger by the second.
It felt like there was a bottle of soda inside me, shaking back and forth and making me feel sick.
And then, suddenly, I felt myself jerking upward in sharp bursts.
Each time I jerked up, I rose several feet higher into the air.
I tried to grab onto something - anything - to stop myself from floating away.
I reached out for window ledges and drain pipes, but my fingers kept slipping off. The ground was getting farther and farther away, and Holly’s worried face was growing smaller and smaller.
I could see her standing on the sidewalk, looking up at me with her mouth hanging open in shock.
And then I saw Mrs. Bracklesham’s face through the upper window of the candy shop.
She was frantically waving her arms and shouting something I couldn’t hear.
I realized I was rising faster than I could control, and the sky seemed endless above me.
