A Mandie Book Collection By Lois Gladys Leppard
I started this series back in 5th grade and read all that the library had, which apparently was not all of them given that they were publishing new ones for a few years after. This collection is what brought me into loving the mystery genres. As a child history isn't always the best subject, but throw in a mystery and BAM a grip so tight I read one a day. I was hooked not just because the mystery, but because I lived in North Carolina at the time, which is where most of the book take place and the main Character, Amanda (Mandi) was Cherokee, which I am as well. The story grabbed hold of me, learning some actual history in the place of a fictional mystery.
Given it has been many, many years since I have read these books, I do not remember too much. However, remembering that I loved these books as a child, almost teenager, it leads me to believe that they are perfect for the kids. Of what I do remember, the book begins in the year 1900 when she turns 11 (I remember this well). Mandie finds herself in many different predicaments, a young child always getting into "mystery" because of her curiosity. I recently learned that the books grew with her where she finds herself in college.
There are at least 40 books, not including specials, before her main collection takes place and college. I love that they did so many, it allows for a child to grab hold of reading and build a love for it.
I might reread these even as an adult so I truly give them to my children as well as recommend them to an elementary school teacher I am friends with looking for books like these.
