Publisher's summary

Newbery Medal Winner, 1936

No one would accuse 11-year-old Caddie Woodlawn of being dainty and ladylike. In spite of her mother’s best efforts, Caddie is as wild as the wind, playing freely and rambunctiously with her two brothers in the Wisconsin backwoods. There are rafts to build and trees to climb and pranks to play. Caddie especially likes to watch her friend Indian John build birchbark canoes at the river.

Every day seems wide with possibility - as wide as the frontier. But living on the edge of civilization has its risks, too. And when Indians threaten to attack the settlers, it is Caddie’s resourcefulness and bravery that save the day.

The author, Carol Ryrie Brink - granddaughter of the real Caddie Woodlawn - based her book on the true stories her grandmother used to tell her about growing up on the frontier.

What a story!🐴

I enjoyed this story very much. The narrator was very good she has a nice voice and it reminds me of a
grandmother telling a story.
I would recommend it as a family read and listen.

Charming

Our family loves to listen to this story. It has emotion, thoughts, lessons, and some comical parts too! Some reviews say that the voice is too raspy, but I think it is very soothing and comfortable!! More books like this are really appreciated!

Timeless

This book is extremely interesting even if you’re a grandma. Of course it brings back life of yesteryear’s but it is wonderful to think of the adventures that children used to have before the age of electronics
