Calpurnia, Callie Vee, es una niña 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 está más interesada en lo que ocurre tras la puerta cerrada de la biblioteca, o en el laboratorio de su abuelo. Poco a poco irá ganándose a este señor un tanto huraño y empezará a colaborar con él en sus observaciones del medio natural, aprenderá quién es Darwin, qué son las especies y las subespecies, y también lo idiotas que se vuelven los hermanos mayores cuando se enamoran. «La evolución de Calpurnia Tate es la novela más deliciosa que he leído en muchos, muchos años... La lucha de Callie porque le permitan tener curiosidad intelectual resulta refrescante, divertida y muy acertada incluso para la época 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.

When her brother brings home an abandoned baby squirrel, Callie and the rest of the family must find a way to deal with a wild animal that naturally wants to climb everything.

Nous sommes dans le comté de Caldwell, au Texas, en 1899. Tout en développant son esprit scientifique, Calpurnia Tate, onze ans, continue de partager avec son grand-père les enthousiasmes et les doutes quant à ses découvertes. Elle affirme sa personnalité au milieu de ses six frères et se confronte aux difficultés d’être une jeune fille à l’aube du XXe siècle. Apprendre la cuisine, la couture et les bonnes manières, comme il se doit, ou se laisser porter par sa curiosité insatiable ? Et si elle ne voulait pas faire son entrée dans le monde comme toutes les jeunes filles de son âge ? Et si la science pouvait ouvrir un chemin vers la liberté ?
