Callie Vee, Travis, Granddaddy, and the whole Tate clan are back in
this charming follow-up to Newbery Honor-winner The Evolution of
Calpurnia Tate.
Travis keeps bringing home strays. And Callie has her hands full keeping
the wild animals--her brother included--away from her mother's critical
eye. Whether it's wrangling a rogue armadillo or stray dog, a guileless
younger brother or standoffish cousin, the trials and tribulations of
Callie Vee will have readers laughing and crying and cheering for this
most endearing heroine.
In this enchanting middle-grade novel, The Curious World of Calpurnia
Tate by Jacqueline Kelly, readers will fall deeper in love with our
heroine Callie Vee, as she continues her journey to learn more about the
world around her and to deal with her wild family.
"The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is the most delightful historical
novel for tweens in many, many years." --The New Yorker, Book Bench
section
"In her debut novel, Jacqueline Kelly brings to vivid life a boisterous
small-town family at the dawn of a new century. And she especially
shines in her depiction of the natural world that so intrigues Callie."
--The Washington Post on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
