I teach 4-6th graders and I bought these to try and interest the girls but I have found that the boys enjoy these books also. I have purchased several of the Mandie books and they are excited when I add a new one. They fight over who will read it first.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will surprise even the most seasoned Mandie reader, December 3, 2003

This review is from: Mandie and the Invisible Troublemaker (Mandie, Book 24) (Mass Market Paperback)

Mandie is back in school, but things are different. Miss Prudence and Miss Hope are selling the school, and there is a possibility that if the school changes headmistresses, Celia might be sent to a different school. On top of that, Polly, Mandie's conniving neighbor is at school with them!
And if it couldn't get worse, an invisible troublemaker comes and makes things difficult for Mandie. Can Mandie find the troublemaker, cope with Polly, and save the school at the same time?

This book is quite interesting. At first I thought the troublemaker was one of Mandie's schoolmates, but I was wrong. I guarantee that you'll be surprised at the ending as I was.

5.0 out of 5 stars A captivating mystery, May 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Mandie and the Invisible Troublemaker (Mandie, Book 24) (Mass Market Paperback)

Hi! I'm 14, and my name is Virginia Sulpy. I consider myself a sort of expert at critiquing Mandie books, since I have read every single one of them at least 5 times. This book is very good, and provides quite a bit of mystery. Someone is doing awful things, like putting the headmistress's private files about the school in Mandie's and her friend's room. Mandie gets caught a few times putting them back, and she even gets suspended. One of the mysterious things that is going on is that her grandmother is not home, which is unusual. It turns out that she had been looking for Hilda, a deranged girl who Mandie found. Then to stir things up even more, the students at the school are planning to protest against the potential buyers of the school. Thier plans are cut short by the news of President McKinley, who was shot. This story is very realistic, and the author has had a field day of desciption. Looking at the other books in the series, this one does not tend to stick in your mind. However, don't pass this one by!!! THANK YOU, MRS LEPPARD! Keep it up!
