Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Ten-year-old Mandy feels lost among the thirty children who live in the old stone orphange. She dreams of a home of her own, a place where she belongs. When Mandy climbs over the high orphanage wall to explore the outside, she is lucky enough to find a tiny deserted cottage hidden in the forest. With a few "borrowed" items, the cottage becomes a refuge. To guard her secret, Mandy even lies — but when she falls terribly sick, no one knows where she is. No one, that is, except for a special admirer she didn't know she had.

About the Author

Julie Andrews Edwards, author of Mandy and The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles, has starred in many popular films, including Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. She lives in New York.

My mother bought me this book when I was 10 and thirty years later I still love it's simple, sweet, and charming story. The sense of place in the book is still rooted in my memory. I can't forget the simple shell cottage she finds in the woods and makes her own. I love it!!
