| Description | In this video, middle school librarian Lynn Rutan talks about The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly, a historical novel for children about coming of age, life in the past, The Origin of the Species by Charles Darwin, and much more. This uniquely witty, wry look into what life was like for an eleven-year-old girl growing up with six brothers in turn-of-the-century Texas features an unforgettable cast of characters including a cantankerous old grandfather, a dirty old dog, and the delightfully spunky heroine, Callie Vee. Callie has been spending a lot of time at the river with her grandfather, an avid naturalist. But just when Callie and her grandfather are about to make an amazing discovery, the reality of Callie's situation catches up with her. She's a girl at the turn of the century, expected to cook and clean and sew. What a waste of time! Will Callie ever find a way to take control of her own destiny? This wonderful book for middle grade readers received the Newbery Honor award. This is a great resource to entice and encourage our middle school readers. |
