Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

Indie Weekend is my effort to help Indie Authors promote their books. You can help too by sharing this post with all of your social media followers. Also, if you read this book, please leave a review on Amazon, Goodreads, and everywhere else you review books. Let’s all work together to promote Indie authors and help them succeed. Below is a review of Darlene Foster’s Amanda in Scotland: The Standing Stones.

This is another wonderful adventure in the Amanda Travels series by Darlene Foster. This time, Amanda visits the Scottish Isle of Arran. As always, readers of all ages will learn from Amanda’s experiences. This time, we visit a sheepdog trial, the famous standing stones, and Brodick Castle. Then Amanda rescues a mysterious woman dressed in old-fashioned clothes who seems to vanish afterward. Was she the ghost of Morag, the long-missing girl from Machrie Moor? Amanda’s friend Leah is also along for the trip, but is worried that she hasn’t heard from her father.

As always, I enjoyed Amanda’s adventures and learned a lot about this little island in Scotland. The mystery is well-constructed and fun to figure out. The history and culture of this part of Scotland are so well described that the reader feels as if they are there, exploring a castle or participating in a ceilidh (A Scottish social gathering). The combination of mystery, travel, and adventure is what makes the Amanda books so enjoyable. If you can’t travel in person right now, you can still journey with Amanda through these wonderful books. Readers of all ages will love them.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Growing up on a ranch near Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, Darlene Foster dreamt of writing, traveling the world, and meeting interesting people. She also believed in making her dreams come true. It’s no surprise she’s now the award-winning author of Amanda Travels, a children’s adventure series featuring a spunky twelve-year-old who loves to travel to unique places. Readers of all ages enjoy following Amanda as she unravels one mystery after another. When not traveling herself, Darlene divides her time between the west coast of Canada and the Costa Blanca, Spain with her husband and entertaining rescue dogs, Dot and Lia. http://www.darlenefoster.ca

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.
