Caddie Woodlawn

Knowing the real-life basis for Caddie’s story makes her adventures feel even more special. I'm curious about what sparked Brink's interest in this time period and character.

Caddie isn't afraid to break the rules or stand up for what she believes in. It made me wonder how relatable her independence is for kids today.

The frontier life adds a layer of challenge and excitement. I'm interested in how the author used the setting to highlight these themes.
