Fourth grade book group members are engrossed in reading, writing and talking about the life of Charlotte Parkhurst as portrayed in the book Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz Ryan. Brave, confident, persistent and optimistic are a few of the character traits students are discovering Charlotte displayed, allowing her to carve out a life much different than the one she found herself living in, raised in a boy's orphanage in the mid-1800's. We are excited to continue to uncover how Charlotte ended up becoming a legendary stagecoach driver and the first woman ever to vote.
