The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate

In the early twentieth century, a Texas girl's love of the natural world starts her off on a path beyond her expectations in this young readers' adventure.

In the aftermath of 1900's devastating Galveston hurricane, fate has brought Calpurnia Tate together with her older cousin—a female veterinarian. Inspired, Callie Vee starts envisioning a future for herself despite society's—and her parents'—belief in the limited roles women should fulfill.

And with her brother Travis bringing home strays, Callie has her hands full keeping the animals—her brother included—away from her mother's critical eye.

Whether wrangling a rogue armadillo or stray dog, a guileless younger brother or standoffish cousin, Callie Vee and her escapades will have readers laughing and crying in this return to Fentress, Texas.
