The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate - Jacqueline Kelly
Putting up with six rambunctious brothers
can make life miserable for eleven-year old
Callie, but 1899 brings changes and
bold discoveries. Callie and her siblings
have always feared and ignored her
grandfather, a dedicated naturalist with
shelves and shelves of specimens in jars
and an off-limits library. Yet, as her curiosity
grows, Callie gathers courage to ask him questions. Jacqueline Kelly chronicles The Evolution Of
Calpurnia Tate (Holt, $16.99) as Callie finds joy in relationships
with her unusual grandfather and her rowdy family. Ages 9-12.
