I felt like I was sorely neglecting the Newbery project that I’ve signed up for (not having read anything since Higher Power of Lucky, back in March), so I read this little gem of a book by Carol Ryrie Brink.
My full review is over at the Newbery Project.
I agree that it’s sad that this book is so ignored. I love <>Caddie Woodlawn<>. I read it long before I read any of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books or Anne Shirley and still think it’s the best of all.

This was my favorite book as a girl, and probably the book that started me down the path to the reading life. Thank you for reviewing it.

Hmm, I hadn’t really thought about trying it, but I think I’ll track it down now.>>Andi

I invite you to consider CADDIE from a critical stance that examines the ways that American Indians are presented in the story. I’ve doing this myself, over at my blog:>>http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com
