Book Reviews of Caddie Woodlawn
Book Review: Caddie is a free spirit!
Summary: 5 Stars
Caddie Woodlawn is a wonderful Newbery Medal winning book. The story is set in Wisconsin at the same time that the American Civil War is being fought in the East. It was a time when everyone had fireplaces instead of heaters, paper and pencils instead of computer typing programs and outhouses instead of indoor plumbing. News and letters from the East come every few months on a steamer boat.
Caddie comes from a large family. She has 6 brothers and sisters. They have plenty to do to keep them busy on the farm. In summer and winter they all go to school. In the off months, the neighboring town uses the school.
Caddie is an 11-year old girl who is a real tomboy. She always takes on her brother's challenges and tries to beat them at everything. She'd much rather work in the fields than stay inside and sew. The neighbors think of her as odd. Not only is Caddie a tomboy, she also befriends the local Native Americans. But Caddie doesn't care, she is a free spirit. I liked that she was true to her self. She's a good role model.
What I found most interesting about this book is that it's based on real people. The author, Carol Ryrie Brink, based the whole story on her own grandmother, Caddie Woodhouse. I recommend it very much to people who liked Little House on The Prairie, but those who prefer books with a fast pace should steer clear. This is one story I'll always remember!
