Negative Positive
Title: Insipid and insignificant
Review: I apologise to all the sugar-addicts out there, but this is more than just a spoonful - it the whole darn sugar canister is one lump sum. Andrews-Edwards' writing style is stilted, unnatural, and boring. The plot is almost non-existant and ridiculously predictable. There are no issues explored or presented in this book. There are so many wonderful children's authors out there - Jerry Spinelli, Kathryn Zeatley Snyder, Sharon Creech, Gary Paulsen, Lois Lowry, David Almond, Louis Sachar, and many, many others. Mandy is nothing more than airy cotton candy for the reader. Let's give our children more nutritious reading matter than this.
