The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate Book Review By: Emma
This book is really good and it is historical fiction, which is one of my favorite genres. It is written by Jacqueline Kelly. I think most everyone will love this book, because it is just so clever. It really seems like 100 years ago (A century) it was a different planet. It is about a girl named Calpurnia Tate (As the title suggests) who lives in a small Texas town called Fentress. Calpurnia lives in a very large family with 6 brothers, but no sisters :(, her parents and her grandpa all live in one house. Calpurnia’s grandfather is a scientist and a naturalist but everyone in her family (Parents included) is intimidated/scared of him until Calpurnia asks him a question and from there, their relationship unfolds. Calpurnia spends her days with her grandfather following animal tracks and observing plants.
She learns so many new things, from physics to how to tell plant species apart. Her grandfather turns out to be a wonderful person and a genius scientist. This book is funny and wonderful and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good read! The book takes a startling twist along with a huge discovery. I love historical fiction books do you?
I like historical fiction.
