Book Review - Journey to the River Sea, Eva Ibbottson

This is a delightful book. There's something enchanting about the way in which Eva Ibbotson writes. 

This tells the story of an orphan who is shipped off to some relatives who live in Brazil. They do not meet her expectations and soon she's off having an adventure with a boy who lives on the river. This is a story about dreams and reality. It's about making your dreams reality in spite of obstacles. It's about the futility of trying to separate yourself from the environment in which you live. It's about so many things and told in a way that they all creep up on you while you're having a fantastic adventure on the Amazon.
