Search - Caddie Woodlawn

This is the story of Caddie Woodhouse written by her granddaughter, Carol Ryrie Brink. It is a collection of stories that Caddie told of her life growing up as a pioneer just south of Menomonie, Wisconsin. I enjoyed this book even more than the Little House series of Laura Ingalls Wilder's life.

I read it several times when I was in elementary/middle school and loved it.

This is a wonderful story of frontier america from a young girl's point of view. My son, however really liked this book because there is enough action (and interaction)involving native americans, and parent/sibling issues.

Loved this book! I read it aloud at bedtime to our two girls, ages 8 and 10, and they loved it too. There is a sequel to Caddie Woodlawn, which is titled Magical Melons, by the same author: Carol Ryrie Brink.
