Just finished a great YA book that I thought I would share! It won the Newberry Medal in 2010, which was what first brought it to my attention, usually it means a worthwhile read!
"The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate" by Jacqueline Kelly is no exception.
"The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate" by Jacqueline Kelly is no exception.It's a great book about a young girl growing up in the post-Civil War South. She's trying to find her place in a family of boys and a society that has certain expectations of girls despite her growing interest in science encouraged by her eccentric grandfather. I highly recommend it and wish I had daughters to share it with!

Oohh. I will have to suggest this for my book club!
Amanda read this last year and I have had my eye on it since, but it keeps getting pushed back. Thanks for the reminder, I look forward to reading this.
