Mandy, the first children's novel ever written by the beloved star
of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, Julie Andrews, is a modern
classic.
Mandy, a ten-year-old orphan, dreams of a place to call her own.
Escaping over the orphanage wall to explore the outside world, Mandy
discovers a tiny deserted cottage in the woods. All through the spring,
summer, and fall, Mandy works to make it truly hers. Sometimes she
"borrows" things she needs from the orphanage. Sometimes, to guard her
secret, she even lies. Then, one stormy night at the cottage, Mandy gets
sick, and no one knows how to find her--except a special friend she
didn't know she had.
This is the perfect book for ten-year-old girls who love tiny houses and
stories filled with hope.
