Hummingbird (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When forced to choose a topic for a mandatory high school project, Alex sarcastically says "hummingbirds" because one is hovering outside the window. This offhand choice will lead them to uncover hidden family histories in a mysterious old journal, find an essential role in a community nest finding network, and learn how a hummingbird disrupted a major pipeline project. Hummingbird explores how one tiny being can be the catalyst for events much larger.
