I am reviewing Amanda in Malta through Central Avenue Publishing and Netgalley:

After receiving a postcard from her best friend Leah, Amanda is surprised to learn that Leah is in Malta with her aunt. In reading between the lines she comes to realize that Leah is in in trouble. Amanda who is desperate to help Leah, travels to Malta with her classmate Caleb and his parents.

Amanda becomes intrigued by this exotic island in the middle of the Mediterranean, full of colourful history, sun-drenched limestone fortresses, stunning beaches and fascinating birds. But she wants to know who is killing the protected birds and stop it. She wants to know too who stole a priceless artifact from the museum? And why is Leah acting so strange? She couldn’t possibly be involved in these illegal activities, or could she?

Amanda In Malta is an adventurous books geared towards middle grade girls and boys, especially those who are reluctant readers.

I give Amanda In Malta five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
