About
A wonderfully fun, heartwarming read about a girl growing up in a small Texas town in 1899, when women were expected to start families instead of pursuing higher education. Calpurnia studies the natural world with her grandfather and dreams of becoming a scientist. This can be read as a stand-alone or in conjunction with the sequel, The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate.
