Journey To The River Sea by Eva Ibbotson
A plucky orphan raised in an English boarding school is sent to live with distant relatives in Manaus and, on the steamer journey and in the lush Amazon, discovers the extraordinary beauty and danger of the rainforest; she makes warm friendships with locals and fellow travellers, uncovers the selfish schemes of her supposed guardians, and ultimately finds courage, belonging, and a new kind of family far from England.
