This is a great book about a young orphan called Maia, she can't wait to reach her distant relatives a thousand miles up the Amazon. She imagines a loving family but will it turn out that way?
It's an emotional, fantastic adventurous book and we thoroughly enjoyed every second of reading it. We recommend this book for 7 to 12 year olds.
One of the best points of this book is the travelling to Brazil as Maia finds a new friend.
Another is all the exciting adventures that happen along the way.
