Skunked! Calpurnia Tate: Girl Vet
Young readers will find Cal and Travis's exploits entertaining,
humorous, and informative. --School Library Journal, starred review
Expect a fresh crop of Calpurnia readers to simply enjoy this on
its own considerable merits. --Booklist
The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate: "Animal lovers will revel in
the abundant anecdotes about the benevolent country vet and Travis'
mangy strays-some heart-wrenching, some hilarious-while learning
plenty about nature . . . A warm, welcome stand-alone companion to
Kelly's lauded debut." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Well worth
waiting for . . . Readers will flock to this sequel for the
pleasure of revisiting this beloved character and her world."
--Booklist, starred review "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." --Publishers Weekly,
starred review The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate: "The Evolution of
Calpurnia Tate is the most delightful historical novel for tweens
in many, many years. ...Callie's struggles to find a place in the
world where she'll be encouraged in the gawky joys of intellectual
curiosity are fresh, funny, and poignant today." --The New Yorker,
Book Bench section "In her debut novel, Jacqueline Kelly brings to
vivid life a boisterous small-town family at the dawn of a new
century. And she especially shines in her depiction of the natural
world that so intrigues Callie . . . Readers will want to crank up
the A.C. before cracking the cover, though. That first chapter
packs a lot of summer heat." --The Washington Post on The Evolution
of Calpurnia Tate "Each chapter of this winning . . . novel opens
with a quotation from 'On the Origin of Species'--a forbidden book
that her own grandfather turns out to have hidden away. Together
they study Darwin's masterpiece, leading to a revolution in
Callie's ideas of what she might accomplish on her own." --New York
