Customer Reviews

Mandie is Amazing and she Deserves 6 Stars

I give all Mandie Books 6 stars. I am 14 1/2 and have been reading Mandie Books since I was 9. I went to the library with my friend and my mom made me get a Mandie Book. I reluctantly picked out Mandie and the Angel's Secret, which was a very confusing first book to read. Anyway, I LOVED IT! I love that my mom made me get it. My friend and I continued reading these books and continued loving them. I got most of the books for my birthday a couple years later and was overjoyed. I continue collecting the books and can't stop telling people about them and wondering what's going to happen next. I reccommend this book and series to every single person in the world. No matter what age you are, you will enjoy the Mandie Books.

Another wonderful Mandie mystery

It is spring break at Misses Heathwood's School for Girls, and fourteen-year-old Mandie can't wait to get home and see her longtime friend Joe Woodward who went off to college after the Christmas holidays. She is expecting to share some great times with him but when they finally meet things are awkward between the two and Mandie suddenly becomes very shy around her longtime friend. Still they have a great time with eachother. The two decide to go see Sallie Sweetwater at the Cherokee school, but on the way there discover a mysterious pile of mica and no one knows where it came from. More mysteriously, the pile disappears the next day. Who could have moved such a big pile of mica? And can this be related to the disappearance of Jacob Smith, the caretaker of Mandie's late father's place or is it related to the disappearance of wagons from three of Mandie's Cherokee relatives? Mandie and her friends are on the mystery again! This wasn't exactly the best Mandie book but good anyway. I wish there were more Mandie books throughout the year. I started reading them when I was 7 and now it has been a few years. I really wish to know the conclusion of Mandie's story.

Growing up with "Mandie"

This is the latest "Mandie" book that I have read.I started reading them when I was about seven, and then they would take me about a week to finish.Now, I'm fifteen, and the books still have as much appeal as they did when I was younger, although now, they only take me about two hours to read."Mandie" is a tradition with me. With each book, it seems as though she is still my age. In reality, however, she's only gone through about two years of her life as opposed to my eight. Each book holds new surprises and new challenges for the young believer. I anticipate each new release, and hope to share them with a daughter of my own some day.I encourage anyone to share these books with their daughters. The books grow with the reader. When I'm old and grey, I'll still be reading and re-reading the "Mandie" books.God bless.

A wonderful book!

Mandie and the Buried Stranger is one of the best books Lois Gladys Leppard. She shows off her tallents more and more. I love reading her books and because of Lois Gladys Leppard I hope to become a writer. I hope young readers like me want to read this book because it is one of the BEST!

Great Book!

I thought this book was really good! When Joe comes back on spring break vacation, Mandie recieves permission from her mother to visit with his family for a few days while Uncle John is on buisness duties. She ends up staying about a week, and uncovers one mystery after another but no clues are found. Of course, I won't tell what happens at the end coz thats part of the mystery, and i'll leave that up to YOU to find out! All Mandie fans will love this book!
