Out of all of the Mandie books, I remember this one being my favorite and the one I read the most. My younger self's reading tastes are similar to my older self's reading taste; a romantic historical fiction romance. Forbidden love, tragic ends.
Love, love, loved this!
Love, love, loved this!
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 ca be both dangerous and p[painful, Mandie and her friends refuse to give up.
