Rating:  Summary: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Review: This was my all-time favorite book as a child, and I read three or four books a week! This was the nicest story with THE BEST ending.

Rating:  Summary: Mandy Scores A Four Review: I gave my book Mandy four stars because, it was great. One of the reasons it was good and why I liked it was because the characters seemed real. The book seemed like it was a real story, like based on a real story. Another good reason why I liked the book was because it was interesting! There wasn't a moment when there wasn’t something going on, or when the book got boring! The last of many reasons why I loved this book were the details. They were awesome. The author Julie Andrews detailed everything. I think that really any age could read this book because it was Excellent! But the highest age should be thirteen. This book was great!
Rating:  Summary: One of my favorites! Review: Mandy is about a girl who finds an abandoned cottage in the woods. She decides to make a place of her own. What kid doesn't want a place to fix up and call their own? It's one of those books that puts a spell on you and totally pulls you in. You feel happy all over when Mandy works hard and is rewarded with a beautiful garden. You feel sad when autumn comes and all of her flowers die and she is forbidden to go outside. This is right up there with A Little Princess! This is most definatly a must-read!
