The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly
Just before the turn of the century, in 1899, Calpurnia Tate struggles with being the only girl in a family of six boys, especially when she has some very ungirl-like interests. With the help of her grandfather, Callie studies the plants and animals and has the makings of a naturalist, but that's not what girls are suppose to be. First in a series.
