Hello everbody,
It's been more than a month since I posted my last review. So, I'm happy to post Favourite Blast #8, which reviews the amazing book Journey to the River Sea, written by Eva Ibbotson.
Maia has lived in England in a boarding school ever since she can remember. So when some relatives in Brazil, the Carters, are willing to take care of her, she is excited and absolutely cannot wait for the adventure in the Amazon. On the way, she meets Clovis, who works in a theater group. They both become good friends and Maia is certain that her life in Brazil will now be exciting and fun.But, when she arrives at the Carters' large house, she does not get what she expects.
The Carters are ever so prim and posh and do not allow a single speck of dirt on themselves. Maia is shocked because this means that she can't have adventures and she cannot explore the Amazon. Instead, she has to learn from strict governess Miss Minton. Life is ever so boring and dull, with the jungle right outside calling to her. So when she finds out that Clovis is performing on stage in town, she tries to sneak to the theater but is soon lost. Luckily, a young local boy rescues her and helps find her way.
Soon, Clovis, the boy-Finn- and Maia are best friends. That's when Finn tells her that he's hiding from someone, people who want to take him back to England in order to take care of his grandfather's estate....
Suddenly Maia finds exactly what she came to Brazil for: adventure. With the help of Miss Minton and a scientist, will Maia be able to help Finn...and get her dreams?
This book is written by Eva Ibbotson, a reputed author who has also written Which Witch?, The Star of Kazan, The Great Ghost Rescue, The Dragonfly Pool, Dial a Ghost, Not Just a Witch, and many more.
I recommend this book for ages 9 and above.
It is certainly one of the best books I've ever read!
Don't miss Favorite Blast #9, which is going to review Sleepovers by Jacqueline Wilson.
