4.0 out of 5 stars Charming Family Story, December 19, 2008
By 
This review is from: Family Grandstand (Hardcover)
When I was a child, I read this book by well-known Caddie Woodlawn author, Carol Ryrie Brink. Since I grew up and married a professor at a mid-West university, I decided to revisit the book. It's a fun story with lots of football, midwestern culture, and a strong 1950's feel.

Any Professor-parent will enjoy sharing this with his/her children. The book is character rather than plot driven, so don't look for lots of action. A little preachy at times, the story conveys values of diligence, sacrifice, creativity, and obedience.

This review is from: FAMILY GRANDSTAND (Hardcover)
My niece has been looking for this book for over a year. She is an avid reader and likes old books. I purchased this book, last edit was l963. You could really see how old it was. I gave it to her for x-mas. She loved it. She claims that old books are better than the new ones, because they change the story lines in the newer versions.

4.0 out of 5 stars MY FIRST NOVEL, October 7, 2009
By 
This review is from: Family Grandstand (Hardcover)
I read Grandstand Family when I was ten. I had never read a book on my own, unassigned, until then, even though I was, in fact, the best reader in my class. I fell in love with the family and learned, at the end, that novels could be "open-ended"--a lesson many deprived adults have never understood. It should be republished!
