Colibri was a great book to read as it tells a tragic story of Colibri, a 12 year old girl. It was very easy to connect to the young narrator because of her voice and determination but is a rough read as it shows the passion and force of decisions that this young child has to go through. When Colibri was young she was kidnapped and the man who found her forced her to call him uncle.

Its not a light read; instead, it offers a coming of age story that shows a young girl forced to make decisions that we would hope only adults might have to confront.
