The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly

4.0

So grateful to Blue Willow for the loan of the ARC. I loved the first Calpurnia Tate, and love this one as well. We get a more in depth look at the differing expectations between Callie and her brothers and see how Callie feels restricted by those expectations. Kelly's writing is rich and the characters carefully drawn. I think there will be a sequel to see what happens next in Callie's life. This book ended a little unexpectedly-- I felt that there should have been more, so hopefully that means another novel is in the works.
Any kid who likes nature, science, or historical fiction will enjoy this title with special interest for Texas kids.
