On October 1, we’ll release the fifth book in the Amanda Travels series by Vancouver author, Darlene Foster: Amanda on the Danube – The Sounds of Music. In this fun travel adventure series, 12-year-old Canadian girl, Amanda Ross and her best friend, Leah, find themselves in different countries always in the middle of a mysterious adventure.
They’re a perfect read for kids 8-12 as they learn about new cultures and countries, all while having some fun.
Previously the book covers had a kind of collage look to them, but we’ve redesigned all of them to make them a little more current.

Hopefully you like the new look. Throughout October, we’ll have lots of giveaways and other events happening. Stay tuned!
Friday FANTASTIC Flash with Darlene Foster, Elissaveta Marinova, and Me.
