My FIRST favorite book!! It was this book that created my love for reading.Ten-year-old orphan, Mandy, feels like she has nothing of her own, and almost lost among the other thirty children at the orphanage.She dreams of having her very own place, where she can spend time quietly by herself, and where she'll feel as if she belongs. So when she climbs over the large, stone, orphanage wall to explore the outside world, Mandy is ecstatic to find a lonely little stone cottage, hidden among the forest trees and shrubberies.The cottage becomes a home away from home for Mandy, and a place that she can call her own. To protect her secret place, Mandy lies, and tells no one of where she disappears to for hours at a time. But when she becomes terribly sick, and the people who love her are unable to find her, she must rely on the help of a secret admirer, whom she never knew she had.
