Strong women living outside of the city
Get out of town (or suburbia) with these great books.
Tadpole, Ruth White
A great read-aloud book. This follows Carolina and her loud, state-named family of women as they work through life with limited funds and no father. The exuberent title character shows up to escape some family troubles of his own, and adventures ensue. Funny, and a great introduction to Mark Twain-esque dialects.
Little House on Rocky Ridge, Roger Lea Macbride
Even as an (obsessively) avid Little House books fan, I had no idea what a vivacious, smart and rather famous woman Rose Wilder Lane was. This is the first in a series on her adventures as a girl. Series about Laura's grandmother and great-grandmother are also available.
