Illustrated by
Johanna Westerman.
In this warm-hearted if sentimental story, ten-year-old orphan Mandy longs for a place to call her own, so she clandestinely spruces up a deserted cottage. Her secret leads to trouble but also to the happily-ever-after ending, in which Mandy is adopted. Fans of The Secret Garden will enjoy this old-fashioned story, newly decorated with appropriately homey black-and-white illustrations.
