I admit it: I am reviewing these books years after reading them. However, do not even suggest that I'm no longer qualified, that too many years have passed to remember. My battered and faded copies of these books testify to how many times I read them growing up and plots and entire passages are seared in my memory forever.

Snowball always ran away, Mandie always got in trouble, Uncle Ned always rescued her, and Joe and Tommy bristled at each other. I myself prefered Joe, but Tommy's cosmopolitan...more

Mandie and the Trunk’s Secret is book #5 in the MANDIE series and continues Leppard’s trend of great children’s fiction.

The love story is engaging and sweet. This book also offers some great suspense, making the reader wonder who the letters could have been to.

I highly recommend it to MANDIE fans and to anyone who loves great adventure fiction!

I know I read this, but barely remember reading it. I liked the Mandy books, though.
Laura
Okay, but like most of the other books, it doesn't get good until the end.
Gabrielle

I really like this book because it is a loving, courageous, heartwarming and it will keep you on the edge of your seat! The Mandie series are great books for kids everywhere.
Meadow
In her last adventure, Mandi and her best friend have discovered a mysterious old trunk in the attic of their boarding school. In this story they retuned to the attic to investigate and discover a set of letters which included some important and exciting information. Though warned that uncovering the past can be both dangerous and painful, Mandie and her friends refuse to give up.

Mandie books are very sweet. I loved them as a kid, around the age of 8, and I still enjoy them,
Cara
There is such a thing as too much foreshadowing.
Rachel
The Mandie books are fun Christian mysteries for children, but I still love reading them. Even though she doesn't age very quickly and seems to get far too many breaks from school during the year, she's a lot of fun.
Lori
A great series of books for children/young adults. Often recommended for girls, because the main protagonist is female, these books could still be a good read for boys, too.
Anna
Cute. All the Mandie books are just very cute and suitable for little girls who like old-fashioned adventure.
Grace
I loved it when I was 11. I don't know about it now.
