What if you are a little girl, and the only person who truly loves you is your grandfather, who happens to be a notorious mobster? Little Mandie and the Mob is the second novel by Bunny Chapman, and is inspired by a true story—her own!
Her mother's pregnancy had led to a divorce. Mandie is an unwanted child, dumped on her single poor grandma who seems reluctant to raise her. But life is fine enough for the bright seven-year-old, until her grandma's sinister new friend, Herman, moves in and turns his perverse attentions towards Mandie. Her salvation is an invitation from her grandfather in Manhattan.
The moment she jumps off the train, little Mandie is embraced by the most elegant, charming, and funny gentleman she has ever seen or imagined. And he ushers her into a whirlwind of love, laughter, adventure, and safety. What she doesn’t know yet is her grandfather is a famous mobster. Slowly bits of Grandpa’s dangerous life seep into Mandie’s world, and before long, she has more to deal with than any precocious youngster can even guess at. And the fun is just beginning…
