Coco’s mom’s chocolate shop is in trouble. Coco and her friend Leo want to find a way to help on their trip to see the ceiba trees of the Amazon rain forest. Their friendships with the Indigenous Huaorani people they meet there bring about new hope for the trees and all those who depend on them. (Miller Library Staff) Twelve-year-old Coco Hidden has grown up in her mother's chocolate shop in Colorado, along with her friend Leo de la Cueva, but recently things have not been going well; the shop is failing, and Leo is hanging out with the other boys, and barely wants to talk to her--but when they both win a culinary contest, the two children and their mothers find themselves on a trip to the Amazon in Ecuador, where Coco hopes to find the rare ceiba tree, and where the plight of the native people and their jungle gives her a new perspective and purpose in life.
Recommended for primary school (age 6-12) and up.
