This is SSSOOOO good!!!

Mandie and the Long Good-Bye is probably the best Mandie book I've read. Joe is going off to college, but Mandie tries to put it off for as long as possible. A turkey is missing from the kitchen oven, so Mandie, Joe, Jonathan and Sallie search for it (along with the annoying neighbor Polly). Suddenly Dr.Woodard, Joe's dad, disappears, and things get more serious. No matter what Mandie does, she knows that soon Joe is really leaving. The ending leaves you DIEING for the next book and an answer to a question!

I loved this book!!!

I really liked this book!! It starts out when Mandie, Jonathan, Sallie, Joe and Polly are at Mandie's house for the holidays. Then the turkey dissapeared right out of the oven. After that mysteries keep adding on and on. Like the green scarf they found in the bushes, and the old quilt and papers they found in the attic. But things get worse when Dr. Woodward is missing! But none of these things can hide the saddness Mandie will have when Joe goes of to colledge

Another great one!

I am probably one of the oldest Mandie Book readers around. I began reading them when I was eight years old, and now I am twenty. And I still wait in anticipation for each book to come out. This book was somewhat more suspenseful than some of her books. Joe, Jonathan, Polly, and Sallie are all part of the plot. I normally enjoy the ones in which Joe plays a prominant role better than the ones without him. And as always, she ends the book with the reader just itching to get her hands on the next one. Once again, she has written a great book for, in my opinion, readers of all ages. I cannot wait to see what happens in the books that follow as Lois Gladys Leppard reports at the front of this book that "Mandy will grow a little older and things will start moving faster in time in the coming five books."

Very GOOOOOOOD

It was fabulous! But it was sad, Joe going off to college, leaving Mandie behind. But...I didn't know Lois was still writing them! Does anyone know an e-mail adress for me to e-mail Lois?

Awsome!!!!

I think it was a realy good book. I thought it was kind of strange how the turkey got stolen out of the oven. I'm glad Lois Gladys Leppard is going to keep writing this series. ( At the end of the book, Mandie and the Long Good-bye,Lois writes that she is going to keep writing them until Mandie falls in love and gets married.) Yes!!!
