    Adaptation from The Journey to the River Sea


    By Eva Ibbotson

    Maia is an orphan. Her only guardian is a lawyer, named Mr. Murray, whose only
    responsibility is to help her with the small amount of money her parents have left her when
    they died. Then, Maia learned that her relatives, the Carters would be willing to take care of
    her. When a note written by the Carter twins, Gwendolyn and Beatrice, arrives, Maia makes
    up her mind to go live with the Carters in their house on the Amazon. She travels there with
    Miss Minton, her new tutor. On the boat from England, she meets Clovis King, a struggling
    child actor. The two quickly became friends. Maia is very excited to live with the Carters.
    She imagines that she and the twins will become the best of friends and they will have a
    wonderful time together.

    However, the only reason the Carters took Maia in was her money. In reality,
    Gwendolyn and Beatrice are selfish. They hate Maia before they even know her. Maia feels
    like being with the Carters is like a being in prison. Soon, however, she meets Finn, who is
    running away from private detectives known as “the crows.” They are trying to force Finn to
    return to England and claim his inheritance.

    When Clovis committed a mistake in a play where he belongs, he goes to Maia for
    help because his acting company fires him. She and Finn hide him in the hidden lagoon
    where Finn lives and devise a plan to get Clovis back to England. Finn, Maia, and Clovis
    plan to make the crows believe that Clovis is Finn so Clovis pretended to be Finn.

    Meanwhile, in England, Clovis confesses that he is not the real Finn and wishes to
    go home, which causes Sir Aubrey, Finn’s father to have a heart attack. The real Finn goes
    to his father's home, to help Clovis reveal the truth.

    In the end, Mrs. Carter, Beatrice and Gwendolyn return to England to become
    servants of their wealthy relative. However, Maia, Miss Minton and Clovis all return to
    Brazil. Finn inherits all his family’s money and possessions.
