I have a collection of over forty Mandie books, which I read over and over again when I was growing up. I plan to hand them down to my daughter(s) if and when God decides to give me children and they begin to read. I hope that your daughter enjoys them as much as I have!<br /><br />ShirleyShirley Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289605510998502756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951778913748076749.post-22873793264414837942010-02-23T09:17:50.918-08:002010-02-23T09:17:50.918-08:00I think I had about 12 of those books growing up. ...I think I had about 12 of those books growing up. And I'll echo the not much in the romantic department. I vaguely remember occasional bits, but mainly I remember the stories. I do know I eventually got a little annoyed at the "kinfolk" that she always used, but that's a minor detail.Ticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970101432834731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951778913748076749.post-80411370158342942412010-02-22T13:24:22.635-08:002010-02-22T13:24:22.635-08:00Hi Ladies,

I am so glad you don't think the romantic element is anything to worry about, because my daughter really loved the book and would like to read more. I will feel lots better about her reading the rest of them without having to preview them. Thanks for reading our reviews and God Bless!<br /><br />ErinErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375809627593025085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951778913748076749.post-45393086987059623592010-02-22T11:03:35.375-08:002010-02-22T11:03:35.375-08:00I LOVED the Mandie series when I was a kid!!

Like Shirley (the previous commenter) I don't think the romantic element is a big deal mostly because I didn't even remember that aspect of the book. Also, my five year old talks regularly about who she will or won't marry, so I think the relevance of that discussion will be determined individually by the readers.<br /><br />Thanks, Erin, for the review! I'm glad to know these are still in print. I look forward to sharing them with my daughter when she reaches that reading level.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284165488156415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951778913748076749.post-37067018623461778312010-02-22T07:05:39.917-08:002010-02-22T07:05:39.917-08:00Wow!

I adored reading all about her adventures. I wouldn't worry about a romantic undertone in the book. I can guarantee that I never picked up on it while I was reading her stories. Also I am not sure about this but I thought I remembered Leppard being a syndicate name... I don't think she is the writer behind all the stories.<br /><br />Anyway great review and thank you for reminding me of something I used to love!<br /><br />ShirleyShirley Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289605510998502756noreply@blogger.com
