The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate
“Six years after debuting in Kelly’s Newbery Honor–winning The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, the budding Texas scientist returns, as curious and charming as ever, and now preoccupied with fauna instead of flora…Happily, the episodic narrative leaves the door wide open for further adventures—if we’re lucky.”
