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.  Every day seems wide with possibility - as wide as the frontier, but living on the edge of civilization has its risks, too . . .  

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.
