Every morning, 12 year-old Lucía scales the massive Sombra Trees that shroud Coquí Island in darkness in search of the rare medicinal fruit she needs to heal her grandmother. Her secret advantage is a parrot named Malo and his sharp sense of smell. But Malo's bright feathers and big mouth make him an easy target.

 

When Malo is stolen in the marketplace by a mysterious boy and his shady acquaintances, Lucía and her cousin Victor chase the thief dangerously high in the canopy. They venture into a foggy labyrinth where even the most nimble climbers vanish but discover a secret about the Sombra Trees that could change life on the island for everyone.

 

But first Lucía and her cousin Victor will have to use their wits to pull off their riskiest venture yet: rescuing Malo and escaping with her lives. ​
