Book Description:
At age 11, Caddie Woodlawn is the despair of her mother and the pride of her father: a clock-fixing tomboy running wild in the woods of Wisconsin. In 1864, this is a bit much for her Boston-bred mother to bear, but Caddie and her brothers are happy with the status quo. Written in 1935 about Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother's childhood, the adventures of Caddie and her brothers are still exciting over 60 years later. With each chapter comes another ever-more exciting adventure: a midnight gallop on her horse across a frozen river to warn her American Indian friends of the white men's plan to attack; a prairie fire approaching the school house; and a letter from England that may change the family's life forever. This Newbery Medal-winning book bursts at the seams with Caddie's irrepressible spirit. In spite of her mother's misgivings, Caddie is a perfect role model for any girl--or boy, for that matter. She's big-hearted, she's brave, and she's mechanically inclined!

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.

This was my favorite book in fourth grade. I remember the teacher reading it aloud to us after lunch. Caddie is one of the spunkiest, bravest redheaded girls in literature---more than even Pippi or Anne of Green Gables. I highly recommend Caddie Woodlawn.

I've probably read this book more times than i have fingers and toes. Caddie's stories are timeless. She is a tomboy before tomboys existed. She is brave, compassionate, and adventursome. Her father encourages her rebelous spirit and that puts a smile in my heart. A must read, ignore the fact it takes place over a hundred years ago, its not boring and unaccessable like most historical children's books.

Caddie Woodlawn is a real aventurer. She'd rather hunt than sew, plow than bake, and beats her brothers' dares every chance she gets. Caddie is friends with the Indians, who scare most of the neighbors--neighbors who, like her mother and sisters, don't understand her at all.
Caddie is brave, and her story is special--because it's true, based on the life and memories of Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother, the real Caddie Woodlawn. Her spirit and sense of fun have made this book a classic that readers have taken to their hearts for over fifty years.

One of my childhood favorites. I would recommend this to any families with kids who think that electronic diversions are the best things in life.

Rochelle - Hollywood, FL wrote on 6/30/2009...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.
