Book Review of Mandy (Borntrager, Mary Christner, Ellie's People, 9.)

Mandy (Borntrager, Mary Christner, Ellie's People, 9.)


This was a cute story that I think young girls especially would enjoy. Mandy is the youngest girl in her Amish family. Her mother is about to have a baby and she is so excited. When her little brother is born, he has Downs Syndrome. Mandy is constantly teased by a girl who calls her brother a monkey child. Mandy loves her brother even if she does have him following her around all over. The story was very lovely and sad at times, but shows about how God can forgive anyone and to not hold a grudge against yourself even.
