The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly Book Summary

In this witty historical fiction middle grade novel set at the turn of the century, an 11-year-old girl explores the natural world, learns about science and animals, and grows up. A Newbery Honor Book.

“The most delightful historical novel for tweens in many, many years. . . . Callie's struggles to find a place in the world where she'll be encouraged in the gawky joys of intellectual curiosity are fresh, funny, and poignant today.” —The New Yorker

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.

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

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly was a 2010 Newbery Honor Book and the winner of the 2010 Bank Street - Josette Frank Award. This title has Common Core connections. This is perfect for young readers who like historical fiction, STEM topics, animal stories, and feminist middle grade novels.

Caly v. Wow this book was amazing and I absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone

Calpurnia Tate. This is a pretty good book. It was sort of boring in the beginning, but it was still good.

Callie V.. I read this book for a reading class assignment. Read it now!!! I really enjoyed it and u will too!

Callie. This book is Sooo funny it gets really funny when she is drunk 🍻

My opinion. At first, I thought that this book was going to be interminably long, and boring. But then I started reading, and really liked the book. Personally, this is not my type of book ( at all ), but there is something about this book that really gets to me... I recommend this book to people who like slow but adventurous books, books where the protagonist is trying to figure out who they are, and books about bonding ( between characters ). I would also recommend this book as a summer read... Overall, I REALLY loved this book, and would love to read books just like it!

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. I liked this book because it was very educational. I think this book would appeal to girls 10 and older.

Ninja awesome possum!. I liked the surprise that Calpurnia felt when she saw snow and when she followed her instincts and found a new species of Vetch. (Inspiring for young scientists and explorers, says mom).

Book review. It's a pretty good book,but boring at times.
