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.
"Skillfully layered ... Ávila deftly balances the dark and the light, conflict and humour ... [a] lively, sophisticated, and textured work of art … with great resonance for all ages." —Caroline Woodward, BC BookWorld
