Mandy is a ten-year-old girl that has been in the orphanage since she was young. During Mandy's hard life, she finds a cottage in the woods that  is the one thing she can call her own. She gardens and cleans at the cottage. She would do anything for the cottage even if it means lieing to her best friend or to the Matron, who is the orphanage owner -- but how long can she keep this a secret?

Everything's going well, but when she finds out she has a secret admirer things start to change.  Read about Mandy's ups and downs in this wonderful book by Julie Andrew Edwards.

This book contains many things adventurous and suspenseful, with   a different perspective on life.

Mandy is an orphan who wants to find her own little spot.  One day she finds a tiny cottage on the other side of the orphanage wall. She loves it there so much because she can be all by herself. But someone else finds it, too. During a big storm, everyone is trying to find Mandy.  She is in the cottage and she's very sick.  Only one person knows where she is, but doesn't want to give away the secret.  Will they find Mandy in time?  I like this book because Julie Edwards is a very detailed writer. I recommend this book to anyone who likes adventures.

Mandy is a ten year old orphan who has lived in the orphanage her whole life. She is the type of person who explores, so when she sees the big orphanage wall, she immediately wants to find out what is on the other side. When she does find out, it turned out to be every thing she dreamed of!

What was the mysterious thing on the other side of the wall? Find out when you read Mandy.
