I continue my book purge.
Caddie Woodlawn was my most recent read-in-a-day-to-decide-whether-to-keep-it Newbery and she didn't make the cut. Caddie is a fun heroine in some ways, but she's got nothing on Anne (of GG) or Ella (Enchanted) or Elizabeth Bennett. I mean, it is cool that she's based on an actual person (the author's grandma) and that she single-handedly resolves an imminent conflict between the settlers and the Native Americans (was that story true?), but I wasn't very inspired overall.
