Mandie and the Quilt Mystery
An old family quilt, handed down from Mandie's Cherokee grandmother, contains a secret message stitched into the design. No one will tell Mandie what the quilt says, so she sets out to ask her Cherokee kinpeople herself. Mandie will stop at nothing to find out, even if it means changing everyone's travel plans.
