Ofelia is a special girl who loves horror stories like no other. However, there are so few horror stories that happen in the world of children, that Ophelia herself was given the task of creating some from her very unique imagination. In her third book, she has collected eight spooky stories.

She was little and quick and pretty. Her mother nicknamed her Colibri, Spanish for "Hummingbird". At age four she was kidnapped, torn from her parents on a crowded bus in Guatemala City. Since then, she's traveled with "Uncle," the ex-soldier and wandering beggar who has renamed her Rosa. Uncle has always told Rosa that he searched for his parents but had no success. There's almost no chance Rosa will ever find them--but Rosa still remembers and longs for them. When she was young, Uncle consulted fortune-tellers who told him that Rosa would bring him luck--a treasure big enough to last him...
