I thought it was a fantastic story that felt so alive when i read it!!i have always been facinated with the amazon and maia's journey puts so much into perspective. i loved the way the story interlinked with different people and i found it fasinating, the way the indians lived!! Do you know if eva ibbotson will be writing a sequel to it???????

Summary: an amazing adventure
Comment: Eva Ibbotson writes 'Journey to the River Sea'.
It is a heart-warming tale of an orphan girl from London named Maia, on a quest to find her long lost family in Brazil. She travels to the rainforests and rivers of the Amazon on a wonderful adventure. Meeting new people and experiencing new things.
When she finally arrives at her destination after a long and tiring boat crossing. She is taken a back by the sheer beauty of her new home. She can't wait to start exploring. But as she discovers life with her new family is not what she had anticipated. The carters are Maia's aunt and uncle and cousins who are very strict and cruel. They hate Brazil and everything about it. They don't let any one outside and they don't even eat Brazilian food. They get all their food imported form England. Tins and dried foods. Maia is longing just to go the local market and buy fresh food.
The book is really fantastic and is much better than I had expected. It is full of life and character and I was hard to put it down.
Will Maia and her new friend decide to go back to England or stay in Brazil? You will have to read and find out.!
The book has lots of exciting twists and turns and is full of adventure and exploration. I thoroughly recommend this book!

Summary: Too cool to miss out on!
Comment: Journey to the River Sea is an awesome book! Maia is a girl who lives in a boarding school because her parents died in Egypt. She has no other living relatives, that is why she is in boarding school. One day her lawyer tells her they have found some of her family, living in Brazil. They arrange for Maia to live with her family, the Carters. Maia thought she would find adventure and a loving family who would show her the Amazon. Instead she learns the Carters are extremely afraid of bugs and won't step outside for anything. Maia doesn't really like anything about her new life, except her governess, Miss Minton. When one of her friends, Clovis, needs to get back to England, she hatches a plan to get him out. Into the story also comes Finn, who is a part of her plan for Clovis. This book has amazing adventures and much more than I expected. It also tells a lot about the Amazon and what life is like there. Eva Ibbotson did a great job, even without the magic and enchantment she usually uses. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone!
