Praise for The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate:
"Six years after debuting in Kelly's Newbery Honor-winning The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, the budding Texas scientist returns, as curious and charming as ever, and now preoccupied with fauna instead of flora . . . Happily, the episodic narrative leaves the door wide open for further adventures—if we're lucky." —Publishers Weekly, starred review on The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate

"Animal lovers will revel in the abundant anecdotes about the benevolent country vet and Travis' mangy strays—some heart-wrenching, some hilarious—while learning plenty about nature (from pond water up to the stars), the deadly 1900 Galveston hurricane, and early Texas history as recounted by Callie's scholarly and beloved Granddaddy. A warm, welcome stand-alone companion to Kelly's lauded debut." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review on The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate

"Well worth waiting for . . . Readers will flock to this sequel" —Booklist, starred review on The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate

"Humor and little heartbreaks abound as Callie learns animal care under the tutelage of Dr. Pritzker, the town's veterinarian. . . ." —School Library Journal, starred review on The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate

Praise for The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate:
"The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 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." —The New Yorker, Book Bench section on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

"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." —The Washington Post on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
