June Bookshelf Book of the Month for Teens and Tweens! by Jennifer Armstrong
Monday May 31st, 2010
As we approach the summer reading season, C&NN offers The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, by Jacqueline Kelly, for tweens and teens. Growing up in Texas at the turn of the 20th Century, Calpurnia is more interested in nature study than acquiring domestic virtues. With a secret copy of The Origin of Species tucked under arm, Calpurnia navigates the natural world while facing the expectations that society has for a young girl.
