Publisher Description

Maia, an orphan, can't wait to reach her distant relatives a thousand miles up the Amazon. She imagines a loving family with whom she will share great adventures. Instead, she finds two spiteful cousins who see the jungle as the enemy and refuse to go outdoors.

But the wonders of the rainforest more than make up for the hideous Carters. And when Maia meets a mysterious boy who lives alone on the wild river shores, she begins a spectatcular journey to the heart of an extraordinary new world.

    " I would rather give it a 3.5, but I liked it enough to bump it up to 4. I would have *loved* this book as an elementary school student. The only thing that bothered me now was the idea of the "noble savage". That said, it was a good story and interesting writing. "
