Title: The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
Author: Jacqueline Kelly
Summary: Calpurnia Tate (or Callie Vee as some people call her) is an 11 year old girl right at the turn of the century (1899). She is expected to learn proper cleaning, cooking, and other household chores that are proper for her to do, but instead, she enjoys spending time with her mysterious grandfather, who also love science. They become very close, and Calpurnia makes exciting new discoveries in science and experience growing up at the turn of a century.
Comments: This has remained one of my favorite books for a long time, and I still think it is. I love Callie Vee and her world is so interesting. From the silhouette of her on the cover, to the amazing story inside, The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is, in my opinion, one of the greatest books ever.
There is a lot of science related stuff, which is appealing to lots of girls. Some of the science is a little Darwinism based, just to be warned. There are a few kind of "iffy" parts, so I'm going to rate this 10+.
Rating: 5 STARS!!!! MUST READ!
