The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly
5.0
My 13-year-old son read these after watching me dissolve into laughter while reading them.
In Curious, when my son got to the part where Callie Vee discovers her father values her exactly half as much as her brothers, he marched into my room and demanded: "Why? Why did he do this? This is just wrong."
Teachers Note: The publisher offers a bare-bones teaching guide for the books. It's aimed at Common Core Standards for grades 4-6, in part because Social Studies CC Standards touching on the struggle for women's rights are not really addressed in the upper grades (7th/ 8th) SS standards.
