This has been my favorite of all the children's books I have read this summer! Maia, an orphan girl living at a boarding school in England in 1910, is informed by her lawyer that relatives have been found who are willing to take her in. The catch? They live on the Amazon River in Brazil! She loves adventure and is thrilled at the prospect, but when she arrives, her foster family is not at all what she imagined. They refuse to go outside, and the twin cousins are self-centered and mean. In spite of them, Maia makes friends and manages to have an incredible adventure.
