*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Remaining true to the spirit of Eva Ibbotson's children's masterpiece Journey to the River Sea whilst infusing characters and locale with fresh vitality and purpose, Emma Carroll spins a beguiling adventure set deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
In 1946, Rosa Sweetman, a young Kindertransport girl, is longing for her family to claim her. The war in Europe is over and she is the only child left at Westwood, a rambling country estate in the north of England, where she took refuge seven years earlier.
The arrival of friend of the family, Yara Fielding, starts an adventure that will take Rosa deep into the lush beauty of the Amazon rainforest in search of jaguars, ancient giant sloths, and somewhere to belong. What she finds is Yara's lively, welcoming family on the banks of the river and, together, they face a danger greater than she could ever have imagined.
Featuring places and characters known and loved by fans of Journey to the River Sea (including Maia, Finn, Miss Minton, Clovis, and many others) this spectacular new chapter in the story tells of the next generation and the growing threats to the Amazon rainforest that continue to this day.
