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 Thoughtful book
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017
Verified Purchase
When I first bought this book it seemed like it was just a quick meaningless quick read. As it turned out it was far from it. After reading this book it opened up my mind more about God. Mandie encouraged me to talk more to God and be more open and not to think bad about others. Now, whenever I feel bad or am grateful I always pray about it. This book also taught me a lot about the past and how it varies from today's society. A thoughtful comment I want to mention is that the author always added hints and clues at the end of the chapter to draw you into reading more and I loved that. Over all great book, and the mysteries are a page turner worthy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful books, good value
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2014

I read all of the Mandie books when I was growing up and they first came out. And I've re-read all of them several times. Even when I got "too old" for the books, I still bought and read each new one that was published. I loved Mandie and wished I could have had some (but not all) of the adventures she did. I still have my collection of all of the individual volumes. I bought this book for my niece for Christmas, and it's a great value to have 5 of the stories in one volume. Out of curiosity, I looked and found a price tag of $3.99 on one of my old books and that's from a good 20+ years ago, so you're definitely getting your money's worth.

Reading these stories with my granddaughter each evening has given us so many opportunities to discuss what it means to live a Godly life, and the need to learn from our mistakes. As Mandie learned, so did my Granddaughter and I learn. A fantastic series!

I loved this book as a girl and decided to purchase this copy for my 10 year old sister. She is already half way through after having it for about a month. Although I've read reviews saying that the Mandie books promote salvation by works, I did not even notice that as a young girl, and I think my sister understand her faith strong enough that she won't be swayed by that point of view. Adventurous, exciting, stories

Wonderful books! I read them as a young girl and had to reread them as an adult. They have Biblical principles of faith and trusting in God. I also love that they are abused in North Carolina, which is where I am from

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Childrens Books
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2014

I am a very veteran reader and buy some books for my grand kids. I read them because I wanted to be able to better encourage my grand kids or not recommend them. All these books are wonderful easy mysteries with a few wrinkles thrown with Uncle Ned (the sort of old Indian Shaman). The mysteries are grounded in a light Christian background where if the kids get in to trouble they will ask God to help them. Very refreshing and innocent in todays pop culture!

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite stories I grew up reading as a child

Favorite stories I grew up reading as a child. Now my daughters are loving this set. The only thing I wish I could change, it is challenging to find each of the five now "out-of-print" books sold separately. The Mandie stories captured my attention from 3rd grade up through my high school years. My daughters began reading them when they were second grade and the continue to love them. Some of the writing is a bit cheesy in places, but these are "clean" stories and who doesn't love a mystery?
