A review by jennrocca
The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly
4.0
Not as good as the first but still good - especially for a science oriented 4th/5th grader. Main character is excellent. In this book she does tons of simple experiments that make you want to jump up and go build a barometer/astrolabe, etc.
Ending was... sudden... and weird. I expected something to happen but in the last chapter she decided to stop writing, tied up a few loose ends, and called it a day. That was disappointing. If there is a third book I'll read it. My 9 year old loved it.
Someday I want to know that this girl will get to go to college and become a scientist. Any other ending will be too heartbreaking to bare.
