Brink's Newberry Award-winning novel Caddie Woodlawn is brought to
exuberant life as a musical. Caddie (the iconic, high-spirited
Wisconsin pioneer girl beloved by generations of readers) leads her
willing siblings in a series of thrilling adventures, not always
with the approval of her traditional Bostonian mother. Her father,
however, encourages her antics, that she might thrive amidst the
new, tougher ways of the West. In a dramatic climax, Caddie
single-handedly diffuses a potentially deadly clash between the
terrified settlers and the local Dakota tribe through a daring and
dangerous act. But her action only deepens her conflict with her
mother. Ultimately, Caddie learns invaluable lessons about
reconciling the head-strong child she's been, and the responsible
adult she is soon to be. Through it all, the sacredness of
tradition - passed from one generation to the next - is powerfully
dramatized. As one wise friend tells Caddie: "Families - they're
our link to forever, lass." "As cream rises to the top, so did
Caddie Woodlawn...-Wisconsin News-Leader. "Young audiences adore
Caddie Woodlawn!" -Springfield News-Leader. "A fine family yarn..."
-Milwaukee Journal.
