Personal Opinion: I didn't really like the story that well, because there was no really big problem. Just a small problem/solution event would occur every once and a while. You could skip a few chapters and still know what was kind of going on, so basically this book was slow pace. I wouldn't really recommend this book for someone that wanted to read this for an assignment (mainly because it is slow paced) but it is OK for leisure.
Book Review: Calpurnia Tate is a young girl looking for adventure. In the hot summer days of the late 1800's in rural Texas, there isn't much to see. Once Calpurnia talks to her mysterious Grandfather, her eyes really open to nature. No one in the Tate family really knows Grandfather, and just assumes he is a weird old man who hibernates in his personal space. Calpurnia soon learns that Grandfather is a scientist, who has known the people that Calpurnia has read about in books. One day, when Calpurnia and Grandfather are in the woods exploring for new speciman, they find an interesting looking plant. Now all they have to do is go through the process of patience and determination to see if there dreams have actually come true.
