This was a rather interesting Mandie Book. In this one, thegold Mandie and her friends found is being used to build the hospitalfor the Cherokees. Mandie wants to see how the project is coming along, but nothing is done! It turns out that the builders work all day, and a night watchman keeps an eye on it after dark. But continually, the watchman is beaten up, gagged, and someone tears all the walls down. Who could be doing this? No one knows, because the watchman is continually beaten up. Mandie decides to figure it out, but in the meantime, Joe gets kidnapped! Then she and Sallie do. They do solve the mystery, though. Is it Ts'ani? I'll never tell...

This Mandie book is great! Mandie gets delayed from visiting the ocean when someone is tearing down the walls of the hospital! Is it T'sani, or is it someone else? Read this book and find out!

When I read this book, I had a creepy sensation that something was missing. And after reading it over a few times, I haven't pinpointed what is missing. Nevertheless, this book makes for excellent reading. It's is pretty suspenseful at times.

I really enjoyed this book a whole lot.It was very suspenseful and action packed.I encourage everyone to read this book!

I thoroughly enjoy the Mandie series, but this book was a real disappointment. The story concerns the building of the Cherokee hospital and Mandie and her friends are trying to discover who is sabotaging the project. The learning lessons Mandie must discover are again good here.

I had some major problems, though. The book (unlike the others) has a overwhelming condescension theme toward the Cherokees: the white people must come in to solve the mystery and the Cherokees sit around wringing their hands. Also, Mandie's parents let their daughter get away with all of her misdeeds, disobedience, and whining and let her run around with dangerous terrorists in the neighborhood. Sound like normal, rational parents? Last, the mystery is obvious and insults the meanest intelligence, especially that the adult characters cannot figure it out.

Overall, this book is a necessary tie-in for the rest of the series, but not up to the caliber of the other Mandie books.

This book is really great. Read it!
