CADDIE WOODLAWN is a real adventurer. She'd rather hunt than sew, plow than bake, and beat her brother's 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 memoires 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.

They made a TV movie of this when I was in third grade. I remember I did a book report on this and drew a picture of the cover and one of the girl's in class accused me of tracing it. I was so mad! LOL
Oh man, Caddie was an AWESOME MC. I read this one and did a book report on it. That year (4th grade I think?) we got extra credit if we let our teacher film our book reports. I think she called it "book talk." It was fun!
