"The plot is rich in drama, suspense, hints of romance, and a sense of justice. Adventure lovers will devour this one and wish that it would continue."

"Surely the most perfect children's book of the year is Eva Ibbotson's captivatingly told, funny and moving Journey to the River Sea."

Adventure lovers will devour this one and wish that it would continue. (School Library Journal, starred review")

Reseña del editor

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.
