Ceres, Celestial Legend

A girl, a jungle, and a missing inheritance... Sent to live with distant relatives on a rubber plantation in Brazil, Maia must leave her cozy boarding school in London for the unknown wilderness of the Amazon jungle. Accompanied by Miss Minton, a no-nonsense governess, Maia expects to find curtains of orchids and brightly colored macaws. But instead they find the Carters, Maia's evil-tempered aunt and uncle, with whom Maia's life becomes almost unbearable. It is only when she is swept up in a mystery involving a young Indian boy, a homesick child actor, and a missing inheritance that Maia finds herself in the middle of the Amazon adventure she dreamed of.Watase, Yu is the author of 'Ceres, Celestial Legend ', published 2004 under ISBN 9781569319819 and ISBN 1569319812.
