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.

This is a very exciting book! I like this book because Mandie does not disobey or misbehave like she sometimes does. The group prays alot and the ending is great! A must-read(all Mandie books are must-reads)!

This review is from: Mandie and the Ghost Bandits (Mandie, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

The year is 1900, and twelve-year-old Mandie Shaw, her family, and some of her closest friends are secretly bringing the huge load of gold that belongs to the Cherokee Indians, to a bank by way of train. However, while the transport is being done, a gang of robbers disguised as ghosts cause a train wreck, steal the gold, and injure Mandie's beloved Uncle Ned, who is now missing. Mandie and her friends must now save the day by finding Uncle Ned, and with the help of God, bringing him back to their home alive, and finding the stolen gold, which will be used to build a hospital for the Cherokee Indians.

This was an exciting continuation of MANDIE AND THE CHEROKEE LEGEND. The adventure was amazing and fun to read about, as Mandie and her friends are always getting into crazy binds, but always finding a way out for themselves, and saving the day in the end. It was nice to see some old friends of Mandie's featured in this story, as they were greatly missed in the last book in the series. The talk of God was a little bit more significant in this book, as the mess that Mandie and her friends got into was greater than in the past. Overall, this was a fantastic book in the series, that finishes with a cliffhanger that will have all fans of the MANDIE series running out to purchase MANDIE AND THE FORBIDDEN ATTIC. A must read!
