"The Secret in the Woods" by Lois Gladys Leppard

 About this book:

  “Some mysteries are better left alone. That’s what Mandie’s best friend, Joe, says when strange things begin happening in the woods that surround their homes. Unexplained noises, spooky shadows, and weird voices all convince Joe that they should stay away. But Mandie won’t have any of that! She declares there’s no mystery too scary to solve. At least, there hasn’t been until now. . . .”


Series: This is book #5 in “Young Mandie Mysteries” series. (Book #1’s review Here!, #2 Here!, #3 Here!, #4 Here!, and the Christmas special Here!) {This series is connected to the original Mandie series, Mandie is younger in this series but this series was written later. Also is a bit confusing for those who have read the Mandie series first. See my review of Book #1 for my thoughts on this.}


Spiritual Content- Thanking God a couple times; Going to a singing event at church; Mentions of a church, church going, a singing event, & hymns.
 
 
Negative Content- Minor cussing including: a ‘dumb’; Mandie and her sister Irene say they don’t tell everything about what the other is doing to their mother (such as Irene hanging out with a boy and Mandie being in the woods); A couple mentions of the possibly of an animal being trapped or injured.
 
 
Sexual Content- N/A.

My personal Rating-
{The ratings are lower as the girl gets older because of the simple plot-line, but is clean for all ages.}
While this series isn’t my favorite Mandie series (because the original series is a classic in my eyes!), it has been cute to see Mandie and Joe again and their adventures.
 
 
See y’all on Friday with a new review!

*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
