Etta's Book Club - June 2008 - Mandy

Mandy
By Julie Andrews Edwards

  This book is for every girl that has secretly wished for her own private hideaway. Mandy has never had a place of her own, not a home, not a room, nothing. Being raised in an orphanage means sharing everything. When Mandy stumbles across a forgotten cottage, she is delighted to turn the tiny place into her own secret special place. She lovingly tends to the little cottage and its surrounding gardens. Things seem to be looking up in Mandy’s world, but we all know secrets are hard to keep. How far will Mandy go to keep her secret hiding place?
