Yesterday, my neice, sister, "utter" sister Christi, my girls and I all went to the premier of the Mandie & The Secret Tunnel movie in Greensboro. If you have daughters then you're probably familiar with the Mandie books.
The Christian stories are wholesome, adventuress and exciting...a mix between The American Girl series, Little House on the Prairie and the TV series, CHRISTI, based on the story by Catherine Marshall. I like having something positive to give my girls to read. Mandie & The Secret Tunnell was filmed in NC, and told the story of a small band of Cherokee indians who were saved from the Trail of Tears in the 1800's. The indians integrated with the white family that saved them. The movie is based on the search for a family will- which turns into unraveling a mystery that is intwined with many years of half- truths, hidden alcoves and family secrets.
Although the movie was a tad confusing in the beginning with the director trying to set the plot and characters....I was a little lost betweeen the switching timelines and characters; however, the storyline quickly gained momentum and interest and was well worth the experience.
After the screening, the cast was on hand for a friendly "Meet & Greet" signing autographs and taking photographs with young girls. There are more Meet & Greets happening around the country- and if there isn't one near you- the DVD is available online for only $15. :)
