Maia, an orphan, is sent from this safe and cosy environment to stay with distant relations, the Carters, who are not as kind as she had hoped for. The Carters do not embrace their surroundings and almost always stay indoors, except for trips to Manaus. Beatrice and Gwendolyn, the twin daughters, are selfish and seem to be brought up strictly to be British, while their father, the eccentric Mr Carter, obsessively collects the glass eyes of famous people. Living with the family is Miss Minton, governess to Maia and the twins, who, despite an outwardly strict appearance, begins to care deeply for Maia. </p><p>The family plans to see a play starring Clovis King, an English child actor, but the twins lie and say that all the tickets had sold out so they couldn't buy one for Maia. She decides to go anyway and secretly slips out of the Carters house to get there. When she gets lost, a Native boy takes her to the theatre on his boat. When Maia finally gets to watch <i>Little Lord Fauntleroy</i>, Clovis acts very well, but during the pivotal scene, his voice cracks and the play is ruined. </p><p>Later, Maia meets an orphaned half Xanti, half British boy called Finn Taverner and finds out that he was the boy who gave her a ride to Clovis's act. Two detectives, Mr. Trapwood and Mr. Low, whom Maia nicknames "the crows", are chasing him because his grandfather, Lord Aubrey Taverner, wants to find the heir of Westwood, the estate of the wealthy Taverner family. Finn doesn't want to go because of the terrible memories his father had of living in Westwood, and because he wants to travel up the Amazon to where the Xanti, the Native tribe to which his mother belonged, live. Afterward, Clovis meets Finn too and Finn suggests that they swap positions by making Clovis take the place of Finn. Clovis, also an orphan, desperately wants to go back to England, while Finn wants to stay in Brazil. Clovis will pretend to be Finn Taverner and become the heir to Westwood, while Finn will explore the "River Sea" (the name given to the Amazon River by locals). </p><p>The swapping is successful, and for a while, everything seems to be going fairly well. But then one day, Miss Minton disappears. She has plans to rescue Maia from the Carters by taking the place of Mademoiselle Lille, the governess to a Russian family, the Keminsky's, Maia's friends Sergei and Olga and their parents, the Count and Countess Keminsky. However, Maia, who Miss Minton eventually plans to take with her, does not know this and believes that she has been abandoned. While she is gone, the twins accidentally start a fire in the Carters' home. Mrs. Carter, distracted by Beatrice and Gwendolyn's fighting, accidentally spills insect repellent onto the oil lamp, burning the twins' bedroom and finally the whole house. The Carters are sent to the hospital in the river ambulance, but Maia is left on her own. She is found by Finn and he takes her on his boat, the Arabella, to embark on the adventure she had hoped for. </p><p>Miss Minton and her friend, Professor Neville Glastonbury, chase after them by boat as well. They find the Xanti and for a short time, they live with them and are perfectly happy. One day, Maia is singing for the Xanti when the police from Manaus hear her voice and also find Miss Minton's corset, and, thinking they are rescuing Miss Minton, Maia, and the curator of the Natural History Museum, take them back to Manaus. </p><p>Meanwhile, in England, Clovis confesses that he is not the heir and wishes to go home, which causes Sir Aubrey to have a heart attack. Finn goes to Westwood to help Clovis, but Clovis tells him that he has since told Sir Aubrey that his confession was simply a joke. Finn is relieved as this means he can return to Brazil. </p><p>In the end, Mrs. Carter, Beatrice, and Gwendolyn return to England to become servants of their wealthy relative, Lady Parsons. Maia, Miss Minton, and Finn all return to Manaus and Clovis, under the assumed identity of Finn, is able to stay in England and becomes the heir to Westwood. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters_in_Journey_to_The_River_Sea">Characters in Journey to The River Sea</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Journey_to_the_River_Sea&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Characters in Journey to The River Sea"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Maia_Fielding_-_An_orphan_(Main_Character)"><span id="Maia_Fielding_-_An_orphan_.28Main_Character.29"></span>Maia Fielding - An orphan (Main Character)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Journey_to_the_River_Sea&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Maia Fielding - An orphan (Main Character)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Maia is an orphan and the main character of the book. Bright, passionate, adventurous, determined, and resourceful, Maia has great ambition and a talent for music. She used to live and study in a boarding school in England, called "Mayfair Academy for Young Ladies"; all fees were subsidized by her parents' trust fund. Her parents have died and she journeys to the Amazon to live with her relatives, the Carters, who exploit, neglect, and abuse her, only keeping her under their roof for the sake of her parents' money. She grows close to her governess, Miss Minton. She also forms remarkably close bonds with both Clovis King and Finn Taverner, who are, if in different ways, in lonely and vulnerable situations similar to her own. Maia also meets many people such as professor Neville Glastonbury, Sergei, and Olga. Maia is excited and mystified by the unexplored Amazon and deeply cares about it once it becomes her own home. She is a kind, bright person who is very adventurous and has a vibrant personality. She was excited to live in a jungle. </p><p><br /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Clovis_King_or_Jimmy_Bates_or_Little_Lord_Fauntleroy">Clovis King or Jimmy Bates or Little Lord Fauntleroy</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Journey_to_the_River_Sea&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Clovis King or Jimmy Bates or Little Lord Fauntleroy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Clovis (Jimmy Bates, Clovis is his stage name) is an impoverished boy actor who dreams of going home to England to his foster mother(He especially wants to go back for the food). He has a mishap in Manaus and leaves the acting troupe to go to Maia in hopes her and her family takes him in. As that happens his acting troupe falls into debt and are arrested. Later, Clovis takes Finn's place as heir at Westwood in England, convincing detectives of the false identity. He is reunited with his foster mother who persuades him to reveal his true identity. Clovis tries to reveal his identity on several occasions—one of which results in disaster he can "have Maia when she's grown up." He ends the book living as the wealthy heir 'Finn Taverner'. Clovis is kind and afraid of many things. He is also thought to have a crush on Maia which is proven when he say in his head the twins are pretty but Maia was different. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Finn_Taverner">Finn Taverner</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Journey_to_the_River_Sea&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Finn Taverner"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Finn Taverner is the son of Bernard Taverner. Finn is the real heir of Westwood. Sir Aubrey sent the crows to find Finn as he needed the son of Bernard Taverner to inherit Westwood. He was really adventurous and loved to spend time with the nature. He wanted to become a doctor who used many natural medicines and herbal cures. His mother was part of the Xanti tribe, while his father, Bernard Taverner, was an englishman. His main goal was to reach the Xanti, who live in the amazon rainforest. He was a true and good friend to Maia and Clovis.

She doesn't spend money on Maia's needs, such as piano lessons. Instead, she uses it to buy clothes for herself and her daughters, along with a variety of insect repellents (she hates insects). She is in debt, and all the other families living in Manaus despise the Carters.

Mr Carter is a very mysterious man; he doesn't really care for his family and spends all day in his messy office obsessing over his collection of eyeballs. He loves his collection of eyeballs to such an extent that when the Carters' home caught fire, he chose to retrieve his collection of eyes from his office instead of helping Maia from the burning house.

She is reserved. She is introduced as a "tall, gaunt woman" wearing black clothing and frightening accessories such as a hatpin modelled after a Viking spear and a steel, beaked umbrella. She is kind and concerned with routine and proper learning, encouraging Maia to study Portuguese, for example, in the empty dining room of a ship caught in a storm, or asking Finn to continue his Latin studies whilst in the Amazon rainforest. She loves reading books, particularly Shakespeare. A close friend of Bernard Taverner, she is revealed to be the maid who helped him escape his abusive household and reach the Amazon when they were younger. This is realised as her friend named his boat after her: the "Arabella". Miss Minton takes the job with the Carters in order to follow her late friend's journey to the Amazon. She is extremely intelligent, having been revealed to have knowledge of all the plots the children concoct but allowing them to take place. She has a witty and dry sense of humour, and is cunning, using deception and acting in order to protect the children from unkind and corrupt individuals, such as the detectives. Miss Minton grows to love Maia and treats her like her own child. She finally manages to persuade Mr Murray to let her, and Maia live together in the Amazon. Furthermore, she seems to find romance with Doctor Glastonbury, a naturalist, and Bernard's close friend. He eventually proposes to her, but she is not certain of her suitability to marry. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mr_Trapwood_and_Mr_Low">Mr Trapwood and Mr Low</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Journey_to_the_River_Sea&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Mr Trapwood and Mr Low"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Mr Trapwood and Mr Low are two detectives who search for Finn (who is the legitimate heir) on behalf of Aubrey Taverner. They are greedy, hoping only for money in exchange for their work, and are clumsy and unkind in their attempts to discover the boy. Two unwittingly comedic individuals, Mr Trapwood being harsh and tall and Mr Low being short with a high pitched tone, they wear only black suits despite the weather. Whilst being led astray from their mission by residents of Manaus and the Amazonian Natives (all of whom despise them, being friends of Bernard and Finn Taverner), they befall a series of comedic misfortunes. Their racism towards the Natives is also their downfall, as they are mocked by the tribes, refuse to change out of British attire and therefore overheat, and are easily deceived by Finn's charade towards the end of the novel due to their irrational prejudices. They are often referred to as 'the crows'. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Miss_Emily">Miss Emily</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Journey_to_the_River_Sea&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Miss Emily"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Miss Emily taught Maia in her boarding school before she left for Brazil.
