Eleven-year-old Calpurnia Tate is
growing up in 1899 in Texas with six brothers. One day she wonders about
grasshoppers in her backyard and finds out the answer with the help of her
naturalist grandfather. Calpurnia starts exploring the natural world and
becoming a young scientist and grows closer to her grandfather in the process.
I love this book because it is
about girl power, science, and beating the odds which I think is a very cool
combination. I read The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate with my grandfather and we
both really liked it.
