The book was great but it was pretty confusing and the start didn't really make sense to me

It was a very nice book, but can be a little upsetting in the middle bit.

I loved this book, but I gave it a three star review because it took quite a while before it got exciting. My name is river is a fictional book about how Floyd and Dylan travel to Brazil without telling their parents. Dylan met Lucia there a girl armed with a thesaurus and a great Dane puppy called Pernikety. I really enjoyed the book when Dylan, Floyd, Lucia and Pernikety discovered the shocking truth of the company BlueBird.

I like this book as it has an adventurous story and is very exciting at some points. I liked Dylan the most as he managed to get to Brazil and foil the plot.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are Dylan, Floyd and Lucia. They are very brave and courageous. They are going to Brazil where they have adventures, some of them being in the jungle. I would recommend this book to children who enjoyed reading adventure books.

I thought that by the cover the book would be a bit more about a adventure but it isn't. I really like Lucia a lot because she looks really cool and l like the way she appears and saves Dylan .l was interested it a lot of the book l found it a bit funny when Dylan''s mum thinks him and his friends are just on a trip but actually he is 33,000 feet above the ocean on the way to Brazil. I would recommend this book because it quite sneeky and funny for me

this book was very nice to read. I loved Lucia, a little girl in Brasil, who was living in a bus with a group of other children without adults as they were orphanted or kicked out of the house to take care of themselves. She and boys from Wales safe the day by discovering what is hidden in Amazon. thoroughly recomend as this is definitely a must read.

I'm not sure if it is fiction or factual. But it might be a fiction as I cannot see boys of 11 flying by themselves to other part of the world. My favourite character is Lucia as she is very brave, adventures, loves reading and wants to be somebody in the world. Definitely will recomend.
