      In the exotic jungles of Panama, a sensitive and courageous twelve-year-old girl named Surni is on the verge of a new life. She is a member of the Embera tribe, an indigenous community that has thrived for centuries by knowing how to live in harmony with the land. But now, as the modern world encroaches, she and her family  must face the challenges presented by strangers with unfamiliar habits, technology, and beliefs. Her village now has increasing contact with the outside world, and this must somehow be accepted and integrated into their lives.  Surni's story is one of friendship, family relationships, danger, fear, and many types of courage. In this rich exploration of indigenous people, readers will explore the art and culture of an unfamiliar land.   Second Edition
