Publisher's Synopsis
A girl hummingbird. A seagull. A silver band. A sea-storm. And a bullfrog. What a trip.
Alana is a ruby-throated hummingbird. She is not happy about the annual trip with her parents from Costa Rica to their summer home in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. That's because the family will stop over in Texas to visit cousin Hector. He always teases and makes fun of Alana. Hector never stops.
But on this trip north that will change when Alana comes up against a monster of a bullfrog. She has to be faster and braver than she's ever been before. And the trip Alana dreaded turns out to be the adventure of her life.
The Adventures of Alana J. Hummingbird is a fun, heart-warming story of a family and true courage
"George J. Bryjak's The Adventures of Alana J. Hummingbird is not merely a charming story in which the main characters are ruby-throated hummingbirds. It's full of vivid observation and solid natural history, too. Grab a copy, and catch the buzz!" - Edward Kanze, author of The World of John Burroughs
