Book Review: The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly

The Evolution of Calpurnia TateThe Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I loved this book.  A story of a young girl growing up in rural Texas at the turn of the 19th century.  One tomboy, science loving girl amongst a determined mother, 6 brothers, and a wonderfully eccentric grandfather.  Great stuff, nothing heavy or too much to ponder, just a fun, entertaining read about this great family.  Reminds me of the Great Brain series by J. D. Fitzgerald.  I think I want to buy this one so I can read it again sometime.
