Summary: Mandy
Comment: Mandy
By Julie Andrews Edwards
Reviewed by Lily Pendery
I enjoyed reading the book Mandy, by Julie Andrews Edwards, immensely. This delightful children's book is about an orphan girl named Mandy. She is longing for a real home, even though she loves the orphanage that she has lived in for many years. She is also desiring a place to call her own for once.
One day, she climbs over an old wall to explore what is on the other side. She comes across an little abandoned cottage. She takes a few "borrowed" items from the orphanage to clean it up. However, she doesn't tell anybody about it. She wants it to be hers, and no one else's. One day, she falls very sick, but she returns to her cottage. No one knows where she is, except for a mysterious admirer that she never knew she had.
Mandy is a great book for children for all ages. The author does a magnificent job creating the character, Mandy and her beloved friends. If you love books about little adventures, you will adore this book!

Summary: Mandy
Comment: I absolutley love this book. My Grandma gave it to me as a present when I was 8 or 9 and I didn't even really like to read, but this was an amaizing story that really captures the reader. Mandy was so interesting to read about. I couldn't put the book down when I started reading it. I would fall asleep reading it! It was an easy book to read, no difficult words or ideas, so it would be ideal for a younger child, but it was also so interesting that an older person could definatey enjoy it. It is still my favorite book. I've loved this book for almost 10 years and I have no idea how many times I read it. But it's still good and draws me into the fantasy ever time I read it. I'd reccomend this book for a mom to read to her daughter. I'm sure you'll enjoy this book.

Summary: Amazing Read for All Ages
Comment: Ten-year-old orphan, Mandy, feels like she has nothing of her own, and almost lost among the other thirty children at the orphanage run by Ms. Bridie, where she resides. She dreams of having her very own place, where she can spend time quietly by herself, and where she'll feel as if she belongs. So when she climbs over the large, stone, orphanage wall to explore the outside world, Mandy is ecstatic to find a lonely little stone cottage, hidden among the forest trees and shrubberies. With a few items that she borrows from the orphanage, the cottage becomes a home away from home for Mandy, and a place that she can call her own. To protect her secret place, Mandy lies, and tells no one of where she disappears to for hours at a time. But when she becomes terribly sick, and the people who love her are unable to find her, she must rely on the help of a secret admirer, whom she never knew she had.
After reading MANDY, I am amazed to see that famed screen actress Julie Andrews, is as talented a writer, as she is a singer and film star. Andrews writes in such a poetic, and descriptive way, that helps the reader to imagine that they are really there alongside Mandy, helping her to tend to her beloved garden, and taking walks amongst the lovely forest. Mandy is a kind and intelligent young character, who longs for a family, and a place to call her own, whom you feel for greatly. Overall, the book MANDY was an amazing, and powerful read that will be loved by all, young and old. Do not miss this delightful story.
