It is the summer of 1899 and it is HOT in Calpurnia Virginia Tate's Texas town. Eleven years old, and the only girl out of seven children, "Callie Vee's" life changes course when she begins exploring the natural world under the tutelage of her grandfather. She discovers the wonders of nature, and the challenges of being a girl at the turn of the century, all in a year that will change the course of her life.This debut creation by author Jacqueline Kelly is delightful, insightful, and touching. It won Newbery Honors this year. Join Caledonia tonight and see why.
