Mandy is a great book it takes place in an orphanage and in the woods in a cottage. In the orphanage there is a little girl named Mandy and she is a very interesting girl and likes to explore new places.  In the back of her orphanage there is a big tall wall that separates the kids from the forest.  One day Mandy decides to climb a tree that boosts her right over the wall and beyond that wall is a beautiful sight.  In the few there was a trail that led to a wonderful looking old abandon cottage.  She decided to look around and do up the place for her self but, there was just one little problem. Mandy had to keep the cottage a secret from the other orphans and the owner. If they found out they wouldn’t let her go over again.  I would recommend this book to anyone how likes mysteries and expense. I would also give it five stars because it is never boring.
