August 19, 2010
Rock Rapids, IA - In the tradition of Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables, the Mandie series boasts a delightful cast of characters who learn valuable lessons as they conquer hardships and celebrate life's triumphs. Now, the adventures continue at Bridgestone Multimedia Group™ with Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure, available to own for the first time on DVD at gobmg.com.
The second Mandie adventure to be filmed, Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure follows Mandie Shaw on a quest to uncover a cave full of gold and dark family secrets. Though Mandie is forbidden from interfering with Uncle John's imminent journey to keep an old promise, travel plans change when Mandie's long-lost mother, Elizabeth, shows up on the scene. Suddenly, Uncle John and Ned have a pair of partners along for the ride, which keeps turning more dangerous the more Mandie learns about her uncle and the terrain. Then, as Mandie gets closer to unlocking the mystery, she realizes the key will put her face to face with the one person she never wanted to meet.
Based on the best-selling children's book series by Lois Gladys Leppard, Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure stars Lexi Johnson (Mandie and the Secret Tunnel) and Hayley Mills (Pollyanna, The Parent Trap). The film was produced by Lost World Pictures and was directed by Owen Smith and Joy Chapman, the pair behind the popular Sugar Creek Gang Series, which also stars Johnson.
A recipient of the Dove Family-Approved Seal for viewers of all ages, Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure enjoyed a limited theatrical release and is now available at gobmg.com for $22.95. The DVD's special features include a discussion guide that allows families to draw lessons from the story and relive the magic of Mandie again and again.
