Booksignings

July 22 , 2010 (Thursday)
1:00 PM booksigning and dutch-treat lunch at 11:30 at the Hill Diner
(call 662-9589 to reserve a ticket)

Join us on Thursday, July 22nd for a signing with Jacqueline Kelly, author of The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, a Newbery Honor book.

This fascinating, funny, touching book for young adult readers was written by first-time author Kelly. We look forward to her future books, as this one was beautifully written, a delight for any age, and an inspiration for young girls.

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.
