REVIEW:
Bette A. Stevens
5.0 out of 5 stars History & Mystery with plenty of life lessons along the way!

January 15, 2019

Amanda and her sixth-grade class are on an educational field trip from their hometown of Calgary, Canada to visit, explore and document their experiences in New Mexico, USA. As the class tours Taos, New Mexico and the surrounding area, their trip is interrupted by ghosts present and past. In “Amanda in New Mexico—Ghosts in the Wind,” Foster has written a contemporary fiction story through which middle-grade students will not only learn about the region’s geography, architecture, and artifacts—they’ll learn invaluable life lessons along the way. Students and teachers are sure to want to follow Amanda through further adventures in this well-written series.

~Bette A. Stevens, author of award-winning children’s picture book” AMAZING MATILDA, A Monarch’s Tale” and other books for children and adults.

BLURB:

Amanda Ross is on a school trip to Taos, New Mexico with several of her fellow creative students. She shares a room with Cleo, an anxious classmate who insists she sees ghosts. Although Amanda is determined to prove there is no such thing, she can’t seem to shake the feeling that something or someone is watching her.

Join Amanda, Cleo and their funny friend, Caleb, as they visit a rugged and beautiful landscape where a traditional hacienda, an ancient pueblo, and a haunted and spooky hotel all hold secrets to a wild and violent past.

Does Cleo really see ghosts? Can Amanda escape the eerie wind that follows her everywhere? Perhaps the Day of the Dead will reveal the mysteries of Taos in this latest adventure of Amanda’s travels.

  5. Thanks for featuring my review of Amanda in New Mexico, Marcia. Darlene Foster knows how to keep the reader guessing and wanting more. If I were still teaching, I would add the entire collection to the classroom bookshelf and use these books as teacher read-alouds as well. Kudos, Darlene!

    • Glad you like this feature, Jaye. And if you mean the blog header, you’re just in time for me to change it. Hahaha. I can never leave the same one in place longer than a week, IF that. This is one of my favorites, though. The Wekiva River is where I learned to canoe, and I’ve been out on it when it looked exactly like this. It’s beautiful! 🙂
