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 Another great one!, November 2, 2000

This review is from: Mandie and the Long Goodbye (Mandie, Book 30) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am probably one of the oldest Mandie Book readers around. I began reading them when I was eight years old, and now I am twenty. And I still wait in anticipation for each book to come out. This book was somewhat more suspenseful than some of her books. Joe, Jonathan, Polly, and Sallie are all part of the plot. I normally enjoy the ones in which Joe plays a prominant role better than the ones without him. And as always, she ends the book with the reader just itching to get her hands on the next one. Once again, she has written a great book for, in my opinion, readers of all ages. I cannot wait to see what happens in the books that follow as Lois Gladys Leppard reports at the front of this book that "Mandy will grow a little older and things will start moving faster in time in the coming five books."

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome!!!!, January 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mandie and the Long Goodbye (Mandie, Book 30) (Mass Market Paperback)

I think it was a realy good book. I thought it was kind of strange how the turkey got stolen out of the oven. I'm glad Lois Gladys Leppard is going to keep writing this series. ( At the end of the book, Mandie and the Long Good-bye,Lois writes that she is going to keep writing them until Mandie falls in love and gets married.) Yes!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is SSSOOOO good!!!, October 9, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mandie and the Long Goodbye (Mandie, Book 30) (School & Library Binding)

Mandie and the Long Good-Bye is probably the best Mandie book I've read. Joe is going off to college, but Mandie tries to put it off for as long as possible. A turkey is missing from the kitchen oven, so Mandie, Joe, Jonathan and Sallie search for it (along with the annoying neighbor Polly). Suddenly Dr.Woodard, Joe's dad, disappears, and things get more serious. No matter what Mandie does, she knows that soon Joe is really leaving. The ending leaves you DIEING for the next book and an answer to a question!
