Journey to the River Sea By Eva Ibbotson

Journey to the River Sea was written by Eva Ibbotson. I really like this book because it is full of wonderful events and it also have a very happy ending. I think Maia is a brave girl to get in the Amazon to live with her distant relatives. I also think it is very brave for Maia (the main character) to leave the boarding school that she is used to and go to unknown wildness and dangerous of the Amazon.
I think the story is kind of connected to me of the part when Maia has to leave her school to go to a completely unknown place and felt sad, because I felt the same with Maia, too, when I came to B.I.S!! I really dislike Beatrice and Gwendolyn (Maia' cousins) because they were so bad to Maia that they even sank their nails into Maia's skin when they shake hands!! When I first read it I really can't believe that anyone would actually do something so awful to a person they never met!!
The moral of this book is that don't be bad to another person because if you were the one that is treated badly, you wouldn't feel very happy.
I really like Eva Ibbotson's books because they were all adventurous, exciting, heartwarming and always have a moral in her books. She is also my favourite author!!
I give this book ten out of ten and I recommend it to everyone who loves adventure stories!! You certainly can't miss this book!!
