This book is longer than the last few I read, and although I enjoyed it, it didn't immediately pull me in and make me desperate to finish. Which is a bit unfortunate, because I surely would have got more reading time in had I been enthralled! All the same, it's another nice little book. I remember reading and rereading the Little House books, and I can't believe in all my obsession with those I never read Caddie Woodlawn, which is another prairie book.

I loved this book as a child and read it over and over again, but I recently attempted to reread it via audiobook and it just didn't hold up.

This young adult classic, written in 1935, was awarded the Newbery Medal for the most distinguished contribution to American literature. Brink relates many of the adventures her grandmother had while growing up on the Wisconsin frontier in the 1860s. She had a penchant for pranks, was always into something, and refused to be a "lady." It's a timeless read.

another one of those childhood books about plucky young girls with whom I imagined myself to have tons in common. you know, like being kidnapped by indians. and living on the frontier.
