A review by crizzle
The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly

3.0

If it’s been a while since you’ve read the first, no worries because it recaps here and there throughout the entire book. Definitely wasn’t poignant like The Evolution of Capurnia Tate. I wanted more Grandaddy, less Travis and his animals. I wanted more after her family dismissed Calpurnia’s desire to attend university; this was never revisited or resolved and I was disappointed because there’s no book after this. There were some interesting bits (the country’s biggest natural disaster of the flooding in Galveston, TX) and I enjoyed reading more about this family, but had it not been for the first, I wouldn’t have cared as much.
