We are on the home stretch. Just doing the last spit and polish of Amanda in Holland – Missing in Action before it is printed. I’ve created a trailer for the book. Let me know what you think of it.
A huge thank you to everyone who downloaded the book on NetGalley and to those who wrote reviews, I so appreciate it. The e-book is still available free on NetGalley for a limited time. If you would like one click here
This little ornament, a gift from Holland, is mentioned in the book.
What people are saying abut Amanda in Holland – Missing in Action
As always, I love the way these books teach kids about new places. Darlene does a great job combining history, cuisine, architecture and in this case, botany, from new countries in a way that children will enjoy. Looking forward to the next of Amanda and Leah’s adventures! Alex Lyttle
I had to smile as page after page the essence of the country is superbly captured through Amanda’s eyes. A delightful way for a young person to be immersed in the local lifestyle while being swept away in an exciting tale with a great ending! Irene Butler
Amanda in Holland: Missing in Action has a great conversational read style and one of the things that I loved the most is that Ms. Foster incorporates a lot of history and facts into the story to give the reader a lot of information about the country that Amanda is exploring. From Anne Frank to tulips to wooden shoes to windmills Amanda experiences. Beth Ann Chiles
The story is told in a conversational voice that will draw all readers in and deftly mixes the cultural details with how Amanda engages in and solves the mystery. Jacqui Murray
Amanda comes across this comical character while exploring Holland.

You know that I loved this one! I need to go make sure I have copies of all of them so I can gift them to my great niece pretty soon. She is almost 8 and loves reading –these would be such a great series for her. Congrats!

Lovely post, Darlene. I will have to wait for it to be available on Amazon. Other sites are always a problem for me.

Enticing video, Darlene, very well done. Congrats on the new Amanda book and great reviews I just returned from Malta so I look forward to reading about your next book. P.S. I’m switching from Blogger to WordPress. #senisal

So pleased you liked the video. Malta is such an amazing place, isn’t it? I much prefer WordPress although nothing is perfect. xo

I liked the trailer, Darlene. Did you make the trailer yourself?

Thanks, Stevie. I made it myself using Animoto which is very easy for someone not very technical like me. I also used my own pictures but you can use stock photos as well. I use just the basic program and it’s inexpensive.

Love the video, Darlene! I’m clueless when it comes to that. Nice reviews, too – congrats!

Thanks, Teri. I’m not very tech savvy but the Animoto program makes it idiot proof!
