(2) 4-6 In Texas, 1889, eleven-year-old Calpurnia tries to carve a place for herself as a scientist. Trouble is, the only other family member interested in nature is misanthropic Granddaddy. With his help, Calpurnia starts cataloging her observations and formulating hypotheses--culminating in the discovery of a new plant species. Without anachronism, Kelly has created a spirited young woman who's refreshingly ahead of her time.
