    Spanish Description

    Colibri

    Raptada a los cuatro años de un autobús abarrotado en la Ciudad de Guatemala, una niña a quien su madre llamaba Colibrí ha pasado ocho años recorriendo las tierras altas de Guatemala junto a "Tío", un exsoldado y mendigo que la rebautizó Rosa. Unas adivinas le dijeron a Tío que Rosa le traería un gran tesoro, así que la ha mantenido a su lado, viajando de pueblo en pueblo sin encontrar nunca esa fortuna. Ahora, con doce años, Rosa sigue soñando con sus padres perdidos. Cuando la esperanza de Tío se convierte en desesperación y furia, Rosa enfrenta un peligro cada vez mayor, sobre todo de quien ha controlado toda su vida.

    About the Book

    Kidnapped at age four from a crowded bus in Guatemala City, a girl once called Colibrí—Hummingbird—by her mother has spent eight years traveling the Guatemalan highlands with the man she calls "Uncle," an ex-soldier and beggar who renamed her Rosa. Told by fortune-tellers that Rosa will bring him a fortune, Uncle has kept her close, drifting from town to town in search of treasure that never appears. Now twelve, Rosa still longs for her lost parents. As Uncle's hope turns to desperation and anger, Rosa finds herself in growing danger—especially from the man who has controlled her whole life.
