About this listen
Beautiful and full of adventure, Escape to the River Sea is Emma Carroll's compelling new novel inspired by Eva Ibbotson's best-selling classic masterpiece, Journey to the River Sea.
In 1946, Rosa Sweetman, a young Kindertransport girl, is longing for her family to claim her. The war in Europe is over and she is the only child left at Westwood, a rambling country estate in the north of England, where she'd taken refuge seven years earlier.
The arrival of a friend of the family, Yara Fielding, starts an adventure that will take Rosa deep into the lush beauty of the Amazon rainforest in search of jaguars, ancient giant sloths and somewhere to belong. What she finds is Yara’s lively, welcoming family on the banks of the river and, together, they face a danger greater than she could ever have imagined.
Featuring places and characters known and loved by fans of Journey to the River Sea (including, among others, Maia, Finn, Miss Minton and Clovis), this spectacular new chapter in the story tells of the next generation and the growing threats to the Amazon rainforest that continue to this day.

An Amazing Adventure
A fantastic, gripping story read brilliantly. My daughter (aged 9) and I really, really enjoyed it.

Another Amazement
This is a heartfelt story, entwined in the disruptions of World War 2. It clearly outlines the deforestation of the rainforest from a different point of view, and has many thrilling plot twists, secrets and long lost relatives.
