Page we read: 32
Tatal pages: 242
My job: Summarizer

Summary:
Caddie, Tom and Warren go accros the river to see what the Indians are doing. They watched eagerly as Indian John makes his cannoe. On the way home Caddie spots a hazelnut bush. All three children gather as many nuts as they can. Tom and Warren went home with full pockets but Caddie stays to fill her skin. When she gets home she finds out they have a visitor and she is late for supper. When the pigeons fligh over she decides not to go and shoot them although she loves to hunt. After the birds leave the Woodlawn family get a letter telling them that Uncle Edmund will come soon. Only Tom and Clara are allowed to go. Caddie and Warren ride Betsy to meat the steamer. When they greet Uncle Edmund he gives Caddie a book. When she opens it a clock spring springs out. "Say Uncle Edmund," cried Tom, "you'd ought to know that you can't fool Caddie on snakes or click springs. Try that on Hetty."

Key Points:
1. Caddie Woodlawn is a tomboy. She loves to go out with the boys.
2. The story is during the civil war. Caddie's father would fight in it but because of his family he paid someone to go fight instead of him.
3. Coming late to supper is unexceptible.
4. Every body loves Uncle Edmund.
5. Caddie loves clocks.
