Journey to the River Sea

by Eva Ibbotson
Journey to the River Sea - Thryft
Journey to the River Sea - Thryft

Orphan's magical adventure in mysterious Amazon.

If you've ever dreamed of escaping to a world brimming with natural wonders and unexpected friendships, "Journey to the River Sea" is your ticket. Eva Ibbotson's storytelling is as lush and vibrant as the Amazon itself, reminding us that adventure and discovery can transform not just our surroundings, but our very being. It's a classic tale that proves family isn't always who you're born to; sometimes it's who you journey with.
