The Disney Family Travel recommends Claudeâ??s Adventure by Wendy-Ann Diaz for visitors to the Virgin Islands, said Jacqueline Sample, president of House of Nehesi Publishers (HNP).
The childrenâ??s story by Diaz, a St. Thomas author and jr. high school teacher, was published in St. Martin by HNP.
According to Disney Family Travel, "Older kids will relate to Claudeâ??s fish-out-of-water experience in the Virgin Islands," and suggests it as reading for ages 8 to 12.
Claudeâ??s Adventure is a combination ghost story, time travel, "bad boy" redemption through the power of history, reading, friendship, and parental love, said Sample.
The book is newly listed on the Disney travel websiteâ??s "Fun and Facts for St. Thomas and St. John, Virgin Islands."
Claudeâ??s Adventure is one of the "Pre-Trip Fun" "ideas for family vacations your kids will love," states the Virgin Islands feature at family.go.com/travel/vacations.
HNP found out this week about the bookâ??s listing by the US family entertainment giant. "We congratulate Ms. Diaz for this new exposure, which compounds our appreciation for the confidence Ms. Diaz and other Caribbean authors place in House of Nehesi to publish their books," said Sample.
Claudeâ??s Adventure is available at Van Dorp, Arniaâ??s and Dockside bookstores, and at Amazon.com.
