Riding Freedom

Riding Freedom

This is set in the 1800s. This book was about a young girl named Charlotte. She is as feisty as they come. At the age of two years old her parents died in an accident and she was found holding on tightly to the reigns. This book is based on a true story about the first women to ever vote. Charlotte disguised herself as a man her entire life because the women were looked down upon during this time; this was the only way she would be allowed to do what she really dreamed of. Charlotte had a lot of courage, and this would help any teenager trying to find the courage to stand up for what they believe in. Riding Freedom was written by Pam Munoz Ryan. This is a tween book, but it is a fantastic book.
Riding Freedom was written in 1998 printed through scholastic. I really did enjoy this book and I hope that you might enjoy Charlotte as her adventures as well. (There is a link to Ms. Ryan's website).

CAUTION: You may not be able to put it down; however, it is such a quick read it really wouldn't matter.
