		Journey to the River Sea

Accompanied by Miss Minton, a fierce-looking, no-nonsense governess, Maia, a young orphan, sets off for the wilderness of the Amazon, expecting curtains of orchids, brightly colored macaws, and a loving family. But what she finds is an evil-tempered aunt and uncle and their spoiled daughters. It is only when she is swept up in a mystery involving a young Indian boy, a homesick child actor, and a missing inheritance that Maia lands in the middle of the Amazon adventure she's dreamed of. Readers of every generation will treasure Ibbotson's lush historical adventure that harkens back to the beloved classics of Frances Hodgson Burnett and Louisa May Alcott.

Not just a book for girls. I first purchased the book on tape for a road trip several years ago. My 13 year old daughter read the book a year later. I purchased it again for my youngest son (12 at the time) to read after an assignment on the Amazon. He finished it in one day he loved it that much!
My 15 year old son was curious and read it the next day. What a mystery! What an adventure! I'm sure I will purchase it again to give as a gift in the future.

My kids and I loved this story. It represents the time period it is written in well, with a governess, sailing ship, mysterious relatives, children of different backgrounds brought together and a good dose of adventure. We looked up several of the animals mentioned in the book on the internet, learning about the River Sea, a nickname for the Amazon. You get a feel for many aspects of life in the past while enjoying adventurous twists and turns throughout the entire book. My favorite by far of Eva Ibbotson's books.

I really enjoyed this book. It's quite young and unrealistic, but it's the type of book I would like my hypothetical children to read one day. It teaches you to dream big, to not be scared of new things, that reading essential and that there are good people in the world, but also that the bad ones can be very bad and can't always be changed. The fact that I was in the Amazon last year and experienced a lot of what is in the book also helped.

I love the characters even the vile ones. The story is a great adventure story for children & adults. There are wonderful descriptions of the people, wildlife & vegetation of the Amazon. I will read this one again!

We were searching for books about the Amazon when we came upon Journey to the River Sea. I'd never heard of Eva Ibbotson and was a bit skeptical. However, we were all extemely engrossed in this story from beginning to end! It is extremely well-written and does provide a great description of the Amazon--the flora, fauna, climate, and people. The characters are so real, you find yourself on a roller coaster of emotions. Some are so likable; others so NOT! This is just a fun book to read; plus you learn a little along the way. In fact, we bought it here after checking it out from the library two or three times. We just had to own it!
