Mandie and the Jumping Juniper

This book is so good! It's one of the better Mandie books. Mandie books are probably the best books I've read, ever! Mandie, Jonathan and Celia are traveling with Mrs. Taft to Germany next, to visit Baroness Geissler whom they met in Rome. During the long carriage ride, the carriage breaks down and the driver goes off to find help. Finally, after a lot of struggle, everyone makes it to the huge castle. There are mysterious rumors that a huge juniper tree outside the castle jumps! People say they have seen it before, and Mandie is determined to crack the case. Furthermore, the baroness's grandson, Rupert, who is engaged to a woman named Elsa, is unfriendly and seems to hate Mandie and her friends. One night they spot him doing odd things with another lady. Near the end of the book, they actually see the tree jump! I know this seems impossible, but my sister read it first and says that it really jumps, and I read it and now I understand. You'll have to read the book to find out the surprising reason! I love the way Mandie always trusts in God through everything. It makes the books even better! This book was so good. I love the Europe books in the Mandie series--I've always wanted to travel to another country!

Mandie and her friends are on their way to Germany to visit the Baroness Geissler. But their journey gets off to a bad start when their carriage breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Mandie and Senator Morton are forced to go and find another carriage. That's just one of the bizarre things that happen during their stay. But the weirdest one of all is when they all see a juniper tree...jumping! And on top of that, the baroness's grandson is cold and unfriendly, so they can't get any information out of him. But Mandie has reason to suspect that he's hiding something from them. But what? Find out in this exciting book!This another great book by Lois Gladys Leppard. I liked the part about the juniper tree jumping. That was really neat! I have no idea where Lois Gladys Leppard gets her plots for her stories, but wherever she gets them, they are very good.I just knew Rupert had something to do with the broken carriage, but the reason surprised me. But it was a good kind of surprise. This book is stellar!

This book is so great because I just love Mandie and I have every Mandie book. My reccomedation is: Read it!

I really liked this book. I love this whole series of books. I'm 13 and I still read them. They are really worth reading. Especially the books where she's in school or in Europe.

This book is a must reader! Very suspensful as are all of the "Mandie" books. If you can read this one, DO! If you love mysteries of any kind you will love this series. It ranks up there with Nancy Drew. Only you get many things from a Christian prospective. Clean , nice, suspensful, funny books. What more could you ask for?
