In 1935, when Caddie Woodlawn was awarded the John Newbery Medal as the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children, The Horn Book Magazine wrote: "This is a spirited story that has plenty of action and strength. Girls of eleven, twelve and thirteen will welcome Caddie Woodlawn with enthusiasm."
Today, the daughters of those girls welcome Caddie with equal enthusiasm and the book seems destined to be read by each new generation for years to come. Now many times reprinted, the story of the tomboy pioneer girl and her exciting adventures on the Wisconsin frontier has a lively, lasting appeal, one that is best summed up by Caddie herself when she says: "Folks keep growing from one person into another all their lives, and life is just a lot of everyday adventures. Well, whatever life is, I like it."
Every young reader will agree.
