Bookroo's summary

Coco Hidden's life changes when a culinary contest takes her to the Amazon. Amidst the rainforest's beauty and devastation, she discovers the power of chocolate and the plight of its people. Can Coco and her friend Leo find a way to restore hope and preserve the forest's soul? This adventure challenges them to see beyond their world and embrace a cause greater than themselves.

From the publisher

A beating heart. A talking tree. The rain forest. Love. Mysticism. Harvest. And above all, chocolate.Dear Coco and Leo, I miss you! We all miss you! The whole forest misses you! I hear their thanks and wishes in my dreams. I hope you do, too. Prepare for a journey into a world filled with what so many crave – the sweet savoring of a chocolate drop. A drop that can melt even the most troubled realities. But in this nuanced, heartrending story, before good can emerge, there is destruction, the bombarding of a people, their culture, heritage, sacred beliefs, and the very soul that drives their traditions. This urgent, beautiful novel takes readers into the ugly realities that surround the destruction of the Amazon rain forest and its people. Acclaimed author Laura Resau shows us that love is more powerful than hatred, and that by working together, hope can be magically restored, root and branch.
