Publisher Notes
Moving to South America to live with her English adoptive family on a rubber plantation, Maia and her governess feel excited about the unusual things they will see and experience, despite their new family's wish to keep matters very proper in the middle of the jungle. Reprint.
Media Reviews
"Known for witty, entertaining fantasies, Ibbotson dispenses with magic wands and mythical creatures here and dishes up her best work yet--a topnotch 1910 adventure....With a rain forest steeped in beauty and mystery for backdrop, this romp will transport not just Ibbotson's fans, but legions of Potterites and their ilk as well."
Synopses
Sent with her governess to live with the dreadful Carter family in exotic Brazil in 1910, Maia endures many hardships before fulfilling her dream of exploring the Amazon River.
First Line
It was a good school, one of the best in London.
