The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacquelnie Kelly

It's 1899 and Callie is not interested in anything a girl at the turn of the century is supposed to be interested in. While her mother wants her to learn to cook and keep house, Callie would rather be exploring nature with her grandfather. When she asks for Darwin's Origin of Species for Christmas, what she gets is the Science of Housewifery. But when she and her grandfather find a mutant vetch, nothing will stop her from evolving into a scientist.
