A review by morgangiesbrecht
Mandie and the Medicine Man by Lois Gladys Leppard
3.0
I’m torn in rating this. My eight-year-old self (target audience) probably have enjoyed these books. My present self (not target audience) really struggled through this story.
Middle Grade isn’t my preferred audience in general. The writing style & dialogue are very old fashioned and frankly rather stilted and unnatural.
There are some lovely Christian themes & lessons woven in. The mystery/adventure isn’t anything spectacular and a bit far fetched. But, again, for the target audience it would probably be enjoyable. (I remember they were all the rage in our local Christian bookstore when I was growing up, but for some reason I never read them at that time.)
I’ll probably hang onto these books and maybe try to tackle them again when I’m in a different reading mood.
