Former Tsawwassen resident and children’s author Darlene Foster will be in South Delta this weekend for a signing of her seventh book in the Amanda Travels series recently released by Central Avenue Publishing.

Amanda in Holland – Missing in Action, now available in most bookstores, follows intrepid traveler Amanda Ross who is in Holland to see the tulips with her best friend, Leah. They travel the canals of Amsterdam, visit Anne Frank House, check out windmills, tour a wooden shoe factory and take pictures of the amazing flowers of Keukenhof Gardens.

.

But things are missing in Holland - rare tulip bulbs, a gardener, a home for an abandoned puppy and Amanda’s great-uncle who didn’t return from the war. Is Amanda capable of finding these missing things without putting herself in danger?


Foster bases her novels on her own travels. Brought up on a ranch in southern Alberta, she dreamt of travelling the world, meeting interesting people and writing stories. It’s no surprise she’s now an award-winning author of the exciting Amanda Travels series featuring spunky 12-year-old Amanda Ross, who loves to travel to unique places.

Readers of all ages enjoy travelling with Amanda as she encounters the unknown and unravels one mystery after another. When not travelling herself, Foster divides her time between Canada and Spain with her husband and entertaining dog, Dot.

The Amanda Travels series introduces readers to new cultures and countries by weaving mystery and adventure into the stories. They are perfect for tweens or reluctant older readers and appeal to teachers and librarians looking for new material for their classroom.
Foster will be at Albany Books in Tsawwassen on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 1 to 3 p.m.where she will be reading from and signing her books.
