The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly

The second book about Calpurnia Tate and her exploits will be published in July. It, too, was a delightful romp through science and history and family life in 1900. The devastating Galveston Hurricane and flood of 1900 is featured in an educational and not overly morbid way. Calpurnia begins to dream about becoming a veterinarian - something that females just did not do at the time. Young people who enjoyed the first book will be pleased with the continuing story of Calpurnia Virginia Tate.
