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.

Write Up Epithetical Books Journey to the River Sea

Wow. Loved this story of orphans and jungle adventure. Ibbotson is the natural heir to Joan Aiken, who wrote the classic Wolves of Willoughby Chase. Will be reading everything by her ASAP.

This beautiful book was bought for me as a gift. I devoured it. I still continue to read this beautiful story when I need a perk up. Adventure, romance and a great plot. Must read

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.

Eva Ibbotson, if still with us, would have been celebrating her 90th birthday in January 2015, but sadly she died in 2010. Born in Vienna, she had to move to England in 1935 when Hitler came to power. That experience -- of being uprooted -- was drawn on directly for novels like The Morning Gift (about a girl from a secular Jewish family escaping Nazi Germany) and indirectly, I suspect, for Maia, the young protagonist of Journey to the River Sea. Who has not imagined what life might be like if

Ive just had the adventure of a lifetime, traipsing about the Amazonian Jungle with Mrs Ibbotson as my official guide. All without a plane ticked or my passport.Now that Ive finished Journey to the River Sea, I want nothing more than to pack my bags and run away to Manaus. I want to see this vibrant, vivid world for myself. Just like our protagonist Maia, I want to see the Rio Negro and the Amazon River. I want to swim in that very point where these two rivers meet that borderline between the

I've been thinking a lot about how children's fiction can play a role in the moral development of a child. Ibbotson writes in a variety of genres, but even her most humorous and farcical stories always have a particular moral clarity about them. She reminds me of Dahl in that way. The baddies are lazy, selfish, greedy, grasping -- and usually rich. The goodies are kind, honest, brave, resourceful, modest and hardworking. They yearn for connectedness, not things.Like many of Ibbotson's

A very fun read. Eva Ibbotson has become one of my favorite writers recently. She's a British author who was born in Vienna and emigrated to England as a child in the early 30s. I raced through her adult historical fiction/romances (which are currently being re-released as YA) and enjoyed all of them, even though I was familiar her plot pattern by the third book.This is the second children's/YA book of hers that I've read. (The first was The Star of Kazan, which I also liked a lot.) Following
