Mandie and the Ghost Bandits

     This week we read 'Mandie and the Ghost Bandits'.  I dunno, not really my style, but I'm trying to meet the girls half way with their twaddle.  

     This book had one little hiccup:  bad tithing theology, { yeah, sure, we all tithe so that God will bless us - who knew?  Let's buy Gods blessings!  Don't send me emails, I'm being sarcastic in response to the book } but that aside, it is a book directed for children to make them think that they can do anything, including find their missing stolen gold and capture bad MEN.  Yep, children involved in tracking down and capturing bad men - girls included.  The funny part is that the main heroine takes a pet kitten with her wherever she goes.  Oh, I shouldn't fail to mention their other adult adventures too.  It just wouldn't be that much fun unless they could have died in it, there's usually a few dramas along the way, or the fact they slid in some very junior romance.  It's clean, but it has the beginning of junior romance there.  I guess real childhoods just too boring, hey?

  4. Hi Chareen, If you go to Koorong, you can buy Volume 1 - Books 1-5, and subsequent books all bundled up too. It's very economical that way. It was only $15 for the first 5 books { bundled up like that }. Check out Koorong online.
