It is billed as a Laura Ingalls Wilder style and it is certainly a pioneer family story told from the point of view of a tomboy daughter but the Little House books are better writing and have real characters you come to know. This was pretty one-dimensional and very dated. Adventures of a young farm girl with her brothers in the west Wisconsin country at the time of the Civil War, the episodes that make of this novel are just a bit slick. This book came out after Little House in the Big Woods and the same year as Little House on the Prairie, and while as a Newbery winner it is still available, it just doesn't have the tread of those told from within accounts, although the American mythology is the same.
In addition to their own small family, the Woodlawns are on very good terms with the Indians that live locally, especially Indian John (who has the advantage of command of the English language, although it's unfortunately depicted as the stereotypical pidgin English common in books from this period). The book follows a year in Caddie's life- picking nuts, riding horses, going to school, and worrying about rumors of Indian massacre, eagerly awaiting the mail after a long winter, and eating entirely too much turkey. Over the course of events, Caddie does mature and become ready to at least consider that a lady's skills have some merit. They made the pioneers seem like angels and the Native Americans like inhuman monsters. Ingår iÅterberättas iHar som instuderingsbokHar som lärarhandledning

This book is unique for 20th century historical fiction in that it ages well. Caddie and her family interact with local Indians but unlike their neighbors they see their Indian neighbors for their humanity and don't understand why others don't. (
