Don't let the title fool you!

Mandie is visiting her friend Tommy in Charleston, and she is very excited to see the ocean for the first time.But strange things are happening. While walking on the beach, Mandie and Tommy see a wispy white thing hovering about the water. Tommy's sister Josephine is convinced that the white apparition is a phantom. But Mandie wonders. Does Josephine know more about it than she claims?When I first saw this title, I was a bit wary of it because I'm not allowed to read books about ghosts and whatnot. But after getting a book description from a friend I was reassured, so I went ahead and read it.I was pleasantly surprised. Mandie's like me, she doesn't believe in ghosts, but can imagine them enough to give her the chills.This is an excellent addition to anyone's Mandie collection, but don't let the title fool you. All the 'phantoms' are fake anyway.

One of the best early Mandie books!

This Mandie book was very good, with a great mystery. Mandie is going to visit her firend from school, Tommy Patton. She goes, and thinks she sees a sort of phantom rising off of the beautiful ocean! The house she is staying at also has a sort of mystery to it. Mandie also meets Tommy's sister, who acts in a queer way. The solution is a surprising one, and will keep you guessing until the last page.

Great! A real mystery from the first page to the last!

This book was one of the best Mandie Books that Mrs. Leppard has written! It still is one of my favorites even though she has published many more since she wrote this one!
