Narrative During Books The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate (Calpurnia Tate #1)

Calpurnia Virginia Tate is eleven years old in 1899 when she wonders why the yellow grasshoppers in her Texas backyard are so much bigger than the green ones. With a little help from her notoriously cantankerous grandfather, an avid naturalist, she figures out that the green grasshoppers are easier to see against the yellow grass, so they are eaten before they can get any larger.

As Callie explores the natural world around her, she develops a close relationship with her grandfather, navigates the dangers of living with six brothers, and comes up against just what it means to be a girl at the turn of the century.

Debut author Jacqueline Kelly deftly brings Callie and her family to life, capturing a year of growing up with unique sensitivity and a wry wit.

Audiobook narrated by Natalie Ross 9h 1 m It didn't take me too long to fall under the spell of the spunky title character. Calpurnia Tate is a dreamer and when she becomes interested in the natural world around her, a whole new education begins. Much to the utter dismay of her parents who wish their only daughter would bend her mind to more domestic pursuits, such as cooking and sewing. Only Calpurnia's grandfather sees the rising potential in his granddaughter and seeks to encourage her to

One of the better Newbery honor books. Quirky, thoughtful and honest, this book is a small little gem in the MG genre.

Every now & then I read a work of historical fiction. This is a very enjoyable & interesting book about a young girl coming of age in a time when the telephone & motor car were just coming onto the scene. The author wove in these & other developments in an interesting way. I was astounded to learn that Calpurnia needed a written letter from her mother to check out a book on evolution from the local library! The character development was really well done. I especially appreciated

I wasn't sure what this story was going to be and it drew me in. I'm not sure I'm giving away spoilers or not, so to be safe:Spoiler Warning:Calpurnia is a girl coming of age in 1899 South Texas and she loves her grandfather and the nature around her. She wants to be a naturalist, which was a branch of science in biology. Girls at that time weren't thought of as having a future being a scientist. Callie doesn't want to be like the other girls, she doesn't care about dresses, dances, dating, or

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate had me thinking of one of my all-time favourite classics, To Kill a Mockingbird. Evocative, serene and full of the magic of the natural world, this story is both creative and amazing.

4 1/2 starsI think that every little girl probably has that moment of confusion, that moment when she realizes that the expectations for her will be different than those for her brothers or male friends. I actually got to witness my little girls a few months ago. We were driving down a busy road on a hot day, and after seeing the second or third shirtless male jogger, she asked, why do they get to be naked? When I told her that it was just a custom in our society that women wear shirts outdoors
