1899年的德州夏天，白天气温高得吓人，一般人即使安安静静躺下来睡午觉，依然汗流浃背。11岁的卡莉喜欢在这时候一个人偷偷跑去游泳。她对报社刊登太阳下的气温不满意，写信去反应，报社从善如流，改报阴影下的气温，果然让人觉得凉爽了一点。大哥送她一本笔记，她用来观察纪录每天看到的生物，也聪明的想出号令蚯蚓的方法，销售给哥哥当鱼饵。她对达尔文的进化论感兴趣，偷偷设法去图书馆借书，却被禁止，让她很沮丧。后来她发现庭院里的绿色蝗虫体型比较小，动作迅速；黄色蝗虫虽然动作慢，个头却大，她跑去问爷爷，以为自己发现了新品种，但爷爷要她自己找答案。她从观察中发现黄色蝗虫因为有体色保护，所以即使动作迟缓，仍然可以活到比较老。她把这个发现告诉爷爷，老人家大为惊讶，将她视为志同道合的朋友。爷爷引领她进入科学世界，教她如何做观察笔记，如何使用显微镜，同时怎样养成实事求是的研究精神，并告诉她许多科学家的事迹。

卡莉的志向是进入大学就读，当一名博物学家，但妈妈观念非常传统，期待她当个淑女，逼她学习缝纫、编织、烹饪和弹琴。她无力反抗，在妈妈的期待和自己的兴趣中挣扎。

暑假期间她和爷爷发现一种巢菜，他们加以培育、观察、照相，寄到博物馆申请承认发现新物种，圣诞节过后，他们终于收到回信，并得到以家族姓氏命名的荣耀，也为卡莉争取到不同发展的机会。

穿插在科学主题之间的是大家庭的日常生活、手足之情、成长的苦恼、家人间无言的默契和误解……让阅读变成一件既兴奋又有趣的事。

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.

Debut author Jacqueline Kelly deftly brings Callie and her

family to life, capturing a year of growing up with unique

sensitivity and a wry wit. "The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate" is a

2010 Newbery Honor Book and the winner of the 2010 Bank Street -

Josette Frank Award.

Jacqueline Kelly won the Newbery Honor for The

Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, her first book. She was born in

New Zealand and raised in Canada, in the dense rainforests of

Chapter 1The Origin of

Species When a young naturalist commences the study of a group

of organisms quite unknown to him, he is at first much perplexed to

determine what differences to consider . . . for he knows nothing

of the amount and kind of variation to which the group is subject.

Texas heat. We arose in the dark, hours before sunrise, when there

was barely a smudge of indigo along the eastern sky and the rest of

the horizon was still pure pitch. We lit our kerosene lamps and

carried them before us in the dark like our

媒体评论

“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

“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

“Each chapter of this winning…novel opens with a quotation

from ‘On the Origin of Species’—a forbidden book that her own

grandfather turns out to have hidden away.  Together they

study Darwin’s masterpiece, leading to a revolution in Callie’s

ideas of what she might accomplish on her own.”—

New York Times

Book Review

“Callie’s transformation into an adult and her unexpected

bravery make for an exciting and enjoyable read. Kelly’s rich

images and setting, believable relationships and a touch of magic

take this story far.”—

Publishers Weekly,

Starred Review

“Interwoven with the scientific theme are threads of daily life

in a large family—the bonds with siblings, the conversations

overheard, the unspoken understandings and misunderstandings—all

told with wry humor and a sharp eye for details that bring the

characters and the setting to life. The eye-catching jacket art,

which silhouettes Callie and images from nature against a yellow

background, is true to the period and the story. Many readers will

hope for a sequel to this engaging, satisfying first

novel.”—

Booklist,

Starred Review

“Readers will finish this witty, deftly crafted debut novel

rooting for "Callie Vee" and wishing they knew what kind of adult

she would become.”—

Kirkus,

Starred Review

“A charming and inventive story of a child struggling to find

her identity at the turn of the 20th century… there’s no

uncertainty over the achievement of Kelly’s debut novel.”—

School

Library Journal,

Starred Review

“Narrator Calpurnia’s voice is fresh and convincing, and

Granddaddy is that favorite relative most readers would love to

claim as their own.  Historical fiction fans are in for a

treat.”—

BCCB

“Kelly, without anachronism, has created a memorable, warm,

spirited young woman who’s refreshingly ahead of her time.”—

The

Horn Book Review

"That rare book that will appeal to child and adult

alike."—

Austin American-Statesman

“Introduces a turn-of-the-20th-century heroine for modern

times.” —
