This book is awesome! I can understand Spanish but I can't speak it. I loved being able to know the spanish words in the story.Colibri was very fascinating and I could not put it down. I love to read a good book and Colibri was just that. If it wasn't for work, I would have read this book in one setting that's how engaged I was. Colibri is a little girl who was kidnapped when she was only four years old. Now at the age of 12 she has been traveling, with a man who she is forced to call uncle, through Guatemala. With her uncle being so poor they traveled everywhere by foot. Despite her mother teaching her about honesty,

When Colibri was young she was kidnapped and the man who found her forced her to call him uncle. Uncle promises to help Colibri, who he renamed Rosa, find her family but as the story goes on it turns into a
Kidnapping, extortion, and murder. Not exactly what I thought of when I first picked up this book. Colibri turns out to be a great book for young adults. The book tells the story of Tzunun, a young Mayan girls from Guatemala. It tells about her life from the age of four to twelve.

Then she is made to follow him everywhere he goes and
