Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure is a great movie for the whole family! I have a 10-year old girl and a 7-year-old boy, and they both like to regularly watch this movie and the first one--Mandie and the Secret Tunnel.

My kids really like the adventure and mystery in Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure. They love the riddles and the chase scenes. My daughter admires Mandie’s independent and adventurous spirit, and my son thinks Joe is cool. They both laugh at the antics of Gaynelle Snow and Bayne Locke, particularly Locke’s humorously exaggerated word pronunciations.

Personally, I enjoyed seeing the redemption of (no spoiler alert needed) one of the characters. This character experienced a heart change that was believable and powerful, and the redemption was rewarded with forgiveness. The themes in this movie provide some meaningful conversation starters with kids.

As a parent, it’s great finding a movie with the plot and production quality that holds my kids’ attention while communicating valuable themes with layers that multiple ages can grasp and connect with.

My kids and I are looking forward to the next movie in the Mandie series!

I thought that Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure was such a fun sequel to Mandie and the Secret Tunnel! Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure has friends, family, mystery and lots of surprises! Perfectly entertaining for all ages! The humor is great for adults and children both!
