Caddie Woodlawn

Carol Ryrie Brink


Caddie Woodlawn is a real adventurer. She'd rather hunt than sew, plow than bake, and beat her brothers' dares every chance she gets. Caddie is friends with 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.
