BRINK, CAROL RYRIE CADDIE WOODLAWN

Caddie Woodlawn is a real adventurer. She'd rather hunt than sew, plow than bake, and beat her brother's dares every chance she gets. Caddie is friends with Indians, who scare most of the neighbors -- neighbors, who, like her mother and sisters, don't understand her at all.
Caddie is brave, and her story is special -- because it's true, based on the life and memoires of Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother, the real Caddie Woodlawn. Her spirit and sense of fun have made this book a classic that readers have taken to their hearts for over fifty years.

Twelve-year-old Rosie and her best friend, Bailey, don't always get along, that's true. But Granny Torrelli seems to know just how to make things right again with her interesting stories and family recipes.

IDA B. AND HER PLANS TO
MAXIMIZE FUN AND AVOID
DISASTERS…AND POSSIBLY
SAVE THE WORLD

Who is Ida B. Applewood? She is a fourth grader like no other, living a life like no other, with a voice like no other, and her story will resonate long after you have put this book down. How does Ida B cope when outside forces -- life, really -- attempt to derail her and her family and her future? She enters her Black Period, and it is not pretty. But then, with the help of a patient teacher, a loyal cat and dog, her beloved apple trees, and parents who believe in the same things she does (even if they sometimes act as though they don't), the resilience that is the very essence of Ida B triumph...and Ida B. Applewood takes the hand that is extended and starts to grow up.
