The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly Reviewed by Eden Submitted Jan 19 2012, Thurs 5:55 PM

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, by Jacqueline Kelly, was a really good book. I wouldn't say it was exemplary (some parts were kind of boring), but it was still really good. This book is realistic fiction. Its about how a girl named Calpurnia faces the challenges of her life. The main conflict of the story is how Calpurnia longs to be a scientist, but her parents and, apparently, the rest of the nation, want her to become a "proper young lady". She goes with her grandfather on expeditions, looking at cool little things. I know this book really doesn't sound very interesing to you right now, but it's really a really good book! It shows you how hard life is, and that, even though people say otherwise, you should always pursue your dreams. I suggest this book to everybody everywhere. home
