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 Wow!, August 25, 2003

This review is from: Mandie and the Hidden Treasure (Mandie, Book 9) (Mass Market Paperback)

In the previous book Mandie got in trouble for sneaking away without permission and as punishment she is not allowed to go anywhere for the rest of the summer without an adult. But she's set on finding the treasure that's on a map that she found in her attic, but the map seems almost impossible to follow, and despite all that she still won't give up.
Along the way she discovers secrets that she never dreamed of, and helps someone in their work in a very unexpected way.

This is the first Mandie book that I ever read, and although it was rather confusing at times, (for instance, I had no idea who Joe or Dimar was,) it made me want to pursue the entire series.
This book has got to be one of the best books of the series. Very well written, it gives enough mystery, surprises, thrills, and even sadness to make it outstanding.
I love this book, and I hope everyone else does too.

I love the Mandie series and am now sending it to my grandkids, nieces and nephews. Yes, the boys enjoy it too. It was my son's favorite series. I received it in perfect condition and in record time.
