The book ends with the family ringing in the new year and Callie seeing this white substance all over the land that she has never seen before. With every new discovery and technological advance throughout the book, Callie learns to accept and adapt to them. Throughout this Newberry Honor, Calpurnia has to learn how to do what she loves and yet still do what is required of her. During this time, she loses valuable time studying with granddaddy. She is unable to do all the things that a girl of the 19th century should do, yet still tries because her mother makes her. Calpurnia helps her granddaddy collect specimens and study the world they live in to see if there are any new species out there.Īll while she is doing this, there is an ongoing battle within herself to either make herself happy or make her mother happy. Borrowed, used, and audio formats will work. Once she gets up the courage to go to her granddaddy, they start becoming close and working on scientific discoveries today. A copy of the book The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly (ISBN: 9780312659301). She goes on a search for Darwin’s book, “Origin of the Species,” but cannot find it anywhere until she discovers that her granddaddy had one at the house all along. Once Callie stumbles upon two different looking grasshoppers at her house, she decides she needs Darwin’s book on species. Her mother wants certain things for her, but Callie would much rather be able to run free and have fun in the outside world.
