I read Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink for AG last year. It is a really good book and you really should read it. It is based on a true story of the author's grandmother, Caddie Woodhouse and is about a 11 year old girl called Caddie (Caroline) Woodlawn that does a bunch of things in a year in the 1860s. Caddie is different from most girls; instead of staying home doing housework, she plays outside with her brothers Tom and Warren. Caddie has a sheep dog called Nero that her uncle takes away and almost loses. Caddie is friends with Indian John, a person which most people are scared of.
I really like this book because there are sad parts, like when Caddie found out that she ALMOST lost Nero, and happy parts, like the chapter about Pee Wee. I wonder why Mary died? And why did they move to Wisconsin? I wouldn't move there because it gets really hot in the summer and cold during the winter. I wonder how Nero found his way back to Caddie's house? It seemed like a long way (a REALLY long way) and what did he eat? Caddie Woodlawn is a really good book and I encourage you to read it!

Excellent job with your first post! Thank you for including a summary and telling us some of the questions, opinions, and reactions that you had as you were reading.
I can identify with the feeling Caddie probably had when she thought she lost Nero. When I was about 20, the dog I'd had since I was ten disappeared and we looked for three or four weeks! I finally decided that she probably wasn't coming back when a lady from 12 miles away called and said that she thought she had found my dog! Yeah! It turns out, she did have Mitzi (my dog) but we couldn't figure out how my little 8 pound dog made it 12 miles and was still okay!
Caddie sounds like she had a pretty exciting life. Do you have any connections with her?
