This story is based on the author's grandmother's life - and it is outstanding. An incredible story of a brave tomboy.

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.

Our 8 year old loved this book so much she wanted me to read it aloud twice in one day, and it takes about 30 minuets to read. We were all fascinated by this book.
