Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink (1991 Scholastic Paperback)

Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink (1991 Scholastic Paperback) Author: Carol Ryrie Brink (Granddaughter of Caddie Woodlawn) Publisher: Scholastic U.S.A 1991 Newberry Medal Winner. The most remarkable thing about the book Caddie Woodlawn is that it is a true story! The real-live person named Caddie Woodlawn was 82 when the book was published by her grand-daughter in 1935. By writing down the stories told to her as a child, Carol Ryrie Brink captures her grandmother's life as a girl growing up on the Wisconsin frontier in the 1860's. Caddie Woodlawn is a tomboy and likes nothing better than to go on adventures with her brothers Tom and Warren. She comes from a large pioneer family of seven children. Her older sister Clara is always acting more lady-like than she, and her younger sister Hetty is always tattling on her. Caddie has a fierce independent streak, and we discover what life was like on the Wisconsin frontier as we accompany her to school, and on visits to the neighboring Indian village. The book reveals the often tense relations between Native Americans and the European settlers. Winner of the Newbery Medal. xi + 276pp Brand new books. Copies have never been sold individually.
