More About the Author

Lois began her first Mandie story when she was only eleven years old. But eventually the manuscript was tucked away in a drawer and forgotten. Lois went on to attend Furman University and studied music for several years in New York City where she and her sister sang professionally. Some years ago, Lois was prompted to pull that old manuscript out and began to work on Mandie's story-of her childhood in the South at the turn of the century and her Cherokee heritage. The rest is history and now the MANDIE BOOKS series have sales nearing six million copies! Lois writes from her home in South Carolina. Enthusiastic young fans fill her mailbox with their insightful responses to her stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Growing up with "Mandie", August 10, 2000

By 

"katy516" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mandie and the Buried Stranger (Mandie, Book 31) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, July 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mandie and the Buried Stranger (Mandie, Book 31) (Paperback)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mandie is Amazing and she Deserves 6 Stars, December 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Mandie and the Buried Stranger (Mandie, Book 31) (Paperback)

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.
