Journey to the River Sea

By Eva Ibbotson About

It is 1910 – Maia, orphaned at 13, travels from England to start a new life with distant relatives in Manaus, hundreds of miles up the Amazon. Unhappy with her exceptionally bizarre new family, Maia befriends Finn, a mysterious English boy who lives with the local Indians and shares her passion for the jungle. Then Finn’s past life catches up with him and they are forced to flee far upriver in a canoe, pursued by an assortment of brilliantly eccentric characters that only Eva Ibbotson could invent.
A richly colourful, romantic adventure on a sweepingly grand scale for readers of all ages. “Journey to the River Sea” is a hugely entertaining and satisfying story destined to win this popular author thousands of new fans.
