A proposito di questo titolo

Callie Vee, Travis, Granddaddy, and the whole Tate clan are back in this charming follow-up to Newbery Honor-winner The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate.

Travis keeps bringing home strays. And Callie has her hands full keeping the wild animals-her brother included-away from her mother's critical eye. Whether it's wrangling a rogue armadillo or stray dog, a guileless younger brother or standoffish cousin, the trials and tribulations of Callie Vee will have listeners laughing and crying and cheering for this most endearing heroine.

Recensioni della critica

<p>“<i>The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate</i> is the most delightful historical novel for tweens in many, many years. …Callie's struggles to find a place in the world where she'll be encouraged in the gawky joys of intellectual curiosity are fresh, funny, and poignant today.” —<i>The New Yorker, "Book Bench" section</i><br><br>“In her debut novel, Jacqueline Kelly brings to vivid life a boisterous small-town family at the dawn of a new century. And she especially shines in her depiction of the natural world that so intrigues Callie . . . Readers will want to crank up the A.C. before cracking the cover, though. That first chapter packs a lot of summer heat.” —<i>The Washington Post on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate</i><br><br>“Each chapter of this winning . . . novel opens with a quotation from ‘On the Origin of Species'--a forbidden book that her own grandfather turns out to have hidden away. Together they study Darwin's masterpiece, leading to a revolution in Callie's ideas of what she might accomplish on her own.” —<i>New York Times Book Review on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate</i><br><br>“Callie's transformation into an adult and her unexpected bravery make for an exciting and enjoyable read. Kelly's rich images and setting, believable relationships and a touch of magic take this story far.” —<i>Publishers Weekly, starred review on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate</i><br><br>“Interwoven with the scientific theme are threads of daily life in a large family--the bonds with siblings, the conversations overheard, the unspoken understandings and misunderstandings--all told with wry humor and a sharp eye for details that bring the characters and the setting to life. The eye-catching jacket art, which silhouettes Callie and images from nature against a yellow background, is true to the period and the story. Many readers will hope for a sequel to this engaging, satisfying first novel.” —<i>Booklist, Starred Review on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate</i><br><br>“Readers will finish this witty, deftly crafted debut novel rooting for "Callie Vee" and wishing they knew what kind of adult she would become.” —<i>Kirkus, Starred Review on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate</i><br><br>“Narrator Calpurnia's voice is fresh and convincing, and Granddaddy is that favorite relative most readers would love to claim as their own. Historical fiction fans are in for a treat.” —<i>Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books </i>on <i>The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate</i><br><br>“Kelly, without anachronism, has created a memorable, warm, spirited young woman who's refreshingly ahead of her time.” —<i>The Horn Book Review on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate</i></p>
