The River Sea? What's dattt? As it turns out, the river sea is just another name for the AMAZON, the second longest river on earth. The story is about Maia, who is thirteen years old and now an ORPHAN! She has to leave London for Brazil, where her relatives own a rubber plantation. It's the early 1900s, so after meeting her new governess Miss Minton, she travels on steamship to the Amazon Rainforest. On the ship, she meets a child actor by the name of Clovis who wants to go back to England and eat pudding. On arriving, Maia discovers that the Carters are not as she imagined them. Mrs. Carter is obsessed with cleanliness and kills any bug that enters the house with her flit gun! And Mr. Carter's business is going badly, but he will NOT sell his precious glass eyeball collection. And the TWINS are very mean and like cheese. But Mai's life changes when she meets Finn, the son of a well-known naturalist who has to escape the CROWS, two PEOPLE who want to get him back to his ancestral home in England. Finn concocts a plan involving both Clovis and Maia. But will it work? Stuff will happen! At first, I did not think that I would like this book, but it's really interesting and funny.

The CARPET. To the carpet people, its vastness knows no bounds. These tiny people are so small that their city, Ware is the size of a period. But living on the carpet can have its dangers. For example, FRAY, the absolutely terrifying natural phenomenon that destroys entire cities. One day the members of the Munrung tribe are peacefully minding their own business when suddenly, FRAY destroys the village! So Snibril, a Munrung, and his brother, Glurk lead the tribe across the Carpet. BUT, they run into Mouls, evil beings who use Fray to conquer cities. How will Snibril stop the Mouls? And where will they settle? The book was really funny and I liked it.
