Calpurnia, Callie Vee, es una nina que vive en un pueblo de Texas. A pesar de que su madre insiste en que aprenda a tocar el piano, coser y cocinar, ella esta mas interesada en lo que ocurre tras la puerta cerrada de la biblioteca, o en el laboratorio de su abuelo. Poco a poco ira ganandose a este senor un tanto hurano y empezara a colaborar con el en sus observaciones del medio natural, aprendera quien es Darwin, que son las especies y las subespecies, y tambien lo idiotas que se vuelven los hermanos mayores cuando se enamoran.

La evolucion de Calpurnia Tate es la novela mas deliciosa que he leido en muchos, muchos anos… La lucha de Callie porque le permitan tener curiosidad intelectual resulta refrescante, divertida y muy acertada incluso para la epoca en que vivimos. -The New Yorker

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Calpurnia Virginia Tate is eleven years old in 1899 when she wonders why the yellow grasshoppers in her Texas backyard are so much bigger than the green ones. With a little help from her notoriously cantankerous grandfather, an avid naturalist, she figures out that the green grasshoppers are easier to see against the yellow grass, so they are eaten before they can get any larger. As Callie explores the natural world around her, she develops a close relationship with her grandfather, navigates the dangers of living with six brothers, and comes up against just what it means to be a girl at the turn of the century.
