Journey to the River Sea

by Eva Ibbotson

Sent to live with distant relatives deep in the Amazon, orphaned Maia dreams of jungle adventures and a warm, welcoming family. Instead, she’s met with cold-hearted cousins who fear the rainforest and shun its wonders. But Maia’s curiosity leads her beyond their narrow world—into the vibrant jungle and the path of a secretive boy with a daring past. Together, they uncover a breathtaking world where friendship, freedom, and courage thrive.
