Chronicle Toward Books Riding Freedom
Charlotte Parkhurst is raised in an orphanage for boys, which suits her just fine. She doesn’t like playing with dolls, she can hold her own in a fight, and she loves to work in the stables. Charlotte has a way with horses and wants to spend her life training and riding them on a ranch of her own.The problem is, as a girl in the mid-1800s, Charlotte is expected to live a much different life – one without freedom. But Charlotte is smart and determined, and she figures out a way to live her dreams with a plan so clever and so secret – almost no one figures it out.

This historical fiction book is based on Parkhurst's life and experiences. Although this book has a slow (and tragic) beginning, it picks up speed as it moves along. Charlotte was raised as an orphan with all boys. She eventually ran away and spent her life disguised as a man. Because she was disguised as a man, she was the first woman ever to vote (even though no one realized she was a woman until her death). As a woman living in the 1800's, Charlotte had to maintain her disguise in order toI read this book for my Children's Literature class and was a little disappointed. I never experienced much of an attachment for the characters after the first few chapters. Charlotte in the orphanage was spunky and full of personality, but Charley the stagecoach driver seemed a stiff and purely biographical telling of a person who lived a long time ago. I felt only confusion about the relationship between Charlotte and her friend Hayward. I did enjoy the adventures Charley faced in her life,

Lots of tie-ins for the classroom - life in the mid-1800's, westward expansion, California Gold Rush, horses, losing a parent, civil rights, Women's suffrage, presidential elections, friendship,
Acclaimed author Pam Muñoz Ryan crafted together a beautiful novel that proves a girls strength and wit. I have to say that I enjoyed every second of reading it. The mid- 1800's was the perfect time frame for this book since it gave Charlotte/Charlie a chance to stand up for women's rights. I have read this book over and over again and still never get bored of it. From racing on horses to getting kicked in the eye this novel has every exciting thing you can imagine. If horses are your life, or
