Rating: Summary: Caddie Woodlawn Review: Caddie Woodlawn This is a story called Caddie Woodlawn. It's time period is 1864. This story is about a young girl named Caddie. She's got a big family. One day a man called "The Circuit Rider" finds out that Caddie is not being a lady and is being a tomboy so her father does a test and allows her to be a tomboy with her brothers, Tom and Warren. Later in the book people say they were in a war with the Indians so everyone got their guns and got ready. Read the story to find out what happens!!! I think the author wrote this book, Caddie Woodlawn to compare a young girls life in 1864 to a young girls life in 2002, now. It also shows what jobs they had to do and how to act. I like this story because it really shows you what they did.

Rating: Summary: Caddie Woodlawn Review: This book was O.K. I woundn't of read it if my mom hadn't made me.I recommed this book to tomboys (just like me!)Caddie grew up in the late 1800s when ladies and girls where supposed to wear dresses all the time and Caddie still had to wear them, but didn't want to. Her father wanted her to hang with the boys because she had gotten sick when she was young and he thought that a little fresh air would do her good.In the end Caddie learns what being a girl and american is all about :-)
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Summer Read Review: Caddie Woodlawn was the best book I read in fourth grade. It is a Newbery medalist written by Carol Ryrie Brink. Caddie, an 11 year'old girl who is brave, trustworthy, and kindhearted, goes on countless adventures with her rambunctuous brothers Tom and Warren. Tom is older than Caddie and Warren is younger than she is, and they both treat her like another boy. Through this book you will find yourself laughing, sobbing, and jumping out of your seat in fright. When you finish Caddie Woodlawn you will feel a note of God's music touch your soul.
Rating: Summary: A favorite Review: I first read this book in elementary school. At that time this book appealed to my adventuresome nature and my firm belief that girls could do anything boys could do. Later I read the book in High School. That time the book's history of the frontier and the conflicts between farmers and Indians appealed to a wistful nostalgia that those days had to be better than today. Now, being an adult and having read the novel at least five times I can appreciate all the themes that this book provides. Caddie's independence as a woman, her faith in her family, and the fact that there are two sides to every conflict mean as much today as they did eighty years ago. I have to recommend this book to anyone at any age; there's something in it for everyone.
Rating: Summary: An Adventurous Book Everybody Should Read Review: First, I thought this book might be an autobiography about Caddie Woodlawn. Then, I was thinking, what was so special about her? Then I began to read this book. Caddie was an adventurous girl that prefered to play around wildly, hunt, and make friends with Indians, which some of her neighbors didn't think this was normal for a young girl. She didn't like to plow, bake, and sew. This book expresses Caddie's feeling over other people and people who just don't understand her too well. She spreads her feeling among strangers and other neighbors. After I read this book, I realized that she was special in her own way, being a brave and couragous little girl, trying to maintain her own world.

Rating: Summary: A Story Never Forgotten Review: There are many books, plays, movies, songs and dance upon I which I may reflect and that I am able to recall with pleasant memories. Now many, many years later at the age of almost 74 the story of Caddie Wooddlawn still remains as one of the most rewarding readings of my life. I must have been about the age of Caddie when I read this and either in the last part of the 5th grade or in the beginning of the 6th. My purchase this year will be a gift for my nine year old great granddaughter.
Rating: Summary: Tomboyish !! Review: Caddie Woodlawn comes from a family of seven children.She is a tomboy and is accepted by her brothers and her father.I like this type of girl as I am (sort of) tomboy myself.Wow! I especially like the adventures she shares with her brothers,Tom and Warren.Hetty,her sister,always tattletales on whatever happens to Caddie and her brothers.Caddie's dog,Nero, is an affectionate dog who loves Caddie the most.Caddie's Uncle Edmund wants to take Nero to his place and Caddie's mother allows him.Nero was lonely for he loves the children and escapes from Uncle Edmund.Caddie has a lot of adventures and nearly died once.I love this book.This is one of my favourite books now,I think.I was very anxious when Caddie's father asked the children to vote if they should stay at their farm and be Americans or go to England and be a lord there.I was so excited until I said my own suggestion out loud.Do you want to know more of Caddie's adventures? Read this book! I guarantee that you will rate it 6 stars.
