Interpretation Toward Books Journey to the River Sea

Sent in 1910 to live with distant relatives who own a rubber plantation along the Amazon River, English orphan Maia is excited. She believes she is in for brightly colored macaws, enormous butterflies, and "curtains of sweetly scented orchids trailing from the trees." Her British classmates warn her of man-eating alligators and wild, murderous Indians. Unfortunately, no one cautions Maia about her nasty, xenophobic cousins, who douse the house in bug spray and forbid her from venturing beyond their coiffed compound. Maia, however, is resourceful enough to find herself smack in the middle of more excitement than she ever imagined, from a mysterious "Indian" with an inheritance, to an itinerant actor dreading his impending adolescence, to a remarkable journey down the Amazon in search of the legendary giant sloth.

"Those who think of the Amazon as a Green Hell bring only their own fears and prejudices to this amazing land. For whether a place is a hell or a heaven rests in yourself, and those who go with courage and an open mind may find themselves in Paradise" ~ Journey To the River SeaThis is the kind of book that demands an atmosphere.....a stack of sandwiches, a tall cold glass of lemonade ;topped at regular intervalsa wooden Easy-Chair (the kind your grandpa sat on and smiled genially from) placed in

My least favourite of Ibbotsons books, I didnt particularly like any of the characters ( apart from Miss Minton) and at times the plot felt quite slow. However still an exciting adventure, with great descriptions and food for the imagination.

I think this book was really good because the story flowed really well and it made me want to keep reading, I think Maia is very brave and confident when she was going to live with a new family she was always stating the positive.

Maia is without a home. Her parents passed away in an accident and since then she has been a wealthy orphan girl compelled to spend her vacations alone at the Mayfair Academy for Young Ladies in London.But at last a letter arrives that her fathers second cousins family will take her. At their home on a rubber plantation outside Manaus, Brazil. Maia is headed for the Amazon.For most proper young English ladies, this might be a tad intimidating; but she is determined to embrace the experience. The

A wonderful children's book; it reminded me of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.

Maia is an orphan who has been taught in an all girls boarding school in England for most of her life. This existence could not be more different from Brazil where her aunt and uncle live with their twin girls and where she will shortly be shipped off her with her stern governess. Although her classmates warn of the perils of the Amazon, Maia is excited by the prospect of her new adventure. However, what she finds waiting for her is not at all what she had imagined. Her aunt and uncle have only
