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 Now Mandie's in Rome!, December 3, 2003

By 

Elisabeth "Gymfan15" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mandie and the Silent Catacombs (Mandie, Book 16) (Mass Market Paperback)

Mandie's in Rome, and she's excited about seeing the sights. But ever since Paris there's been a mysterious woman following Mandie and her friends, and she's determined to find out who she is. But things take a turn for the dangerous when a valuable ruby is stolen, and Mandie and her friends get lost in the catacombs.
Can things get worse? Apparently they can, but Mandie will not give up, no matter what the circumstance.

This is one of the better books of the Mandie series. The part when Mandie, Celia, and Jonathan get lost in the catacombs is really neat, and also the part when Mandie and Celia scream their head's off because someone is in their room.
Altogether it makes for a very interesting read, and it is an excellent edition to your Mandie collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite, March 16, 2005

By 

Bookworm "Chelsea" (Citrus Heights, Ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mandie and the Silent Catacombs (Mandie, Book 16) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of my favorite ones, but its very creepy because while Mandie and Celia and Jonathan step aside to read some words written into the wall, someone blows out the candle in front of their faces! They find that all the candles in the catacombs have been blown out. They get lost. Then when someone comes in their room at night and whispers, "Where is it?" it is sooooo scary! I loved it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, February 6, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mandie and the Silent Catacombs (Mandie, Book 16) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was probally one of my favorite Mandie books ever!!!!!!!!! I have all of the Mandie books and I have read all of them at least 20 times!!!! I started to read them when I was 5 and I am 12 now and I still love them! I like this book because it has a lot of adventure and is very suspenseful. I think that Grandmother Taft should pay more attention to Mandie, Celia, and Jonathon because they are always getting into dangerous things, and Mandie never listens to anything anybody says. I loved learning about all the things in Rome!!!!! This book is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I especialy liked the part when they got lost in the catacombs.
