Mandie and the
Cherokee Legend by Lois Gladys Leppard is the
second book in the Christian children’s Mandie Mysteries series. This book
picks up right where we left off with Mandie, her mother and her uncle all
headed to visit her Cherokee relatives. Their journey is filled with mishaps
and adventures.
I gave this book a 3.5
out of 5 stars. The book was nice and enjoyable. Just like the first book, the
writing style is easy, light and quick to read. It is perfect for the intended
young girl audience. The plot wasn’t as catching for me as the first one; maybe
it is the lack of a mystery (which is so ironic coming from me). But it was
still good and strong and pretty interesting.
I really liked the
emphasis on prayer throughout the story; that is a topic I really like to study
and see expressed in books. I also found it very relatable for children to see
how prayer can play a role in our lives. It also had a nice message of
returning kindness (good) even when the person has been “bad” or “mean” etc. The
Christian principles and messages were much stronger in this story than in the
first book and I really enjoy seeing them represented in a child friendly
(understandable) way.
Overall I am pleased
with this read and look forward to see what direction this series takes.
Note: I do have a review of the first book Mandie and the Secret Tunnel available.
