Calpurnia Tate is eleven years old in 1899 and living in Texas. She dreams of learning all about the nature that surrounds her when she is in her backyard. The bond between Calpurnia and her quirky and crabby grandfather, who is an avid naturalist, strengthens as he helps her explore the natural world around her and how it works. In a moving story told with a powerful female protagonist voice, Calpurnia navigates her new life with her six brothers while struggling to find herself and establish her place as a girl during the turn of the century. Recommended for anyone hungry for stories of empowerment, biology, nature and family. Great historical fiction for ages 9 and up.
