Skunked!: Calpurnia Tate, Girl Vet by Jacqueline Kelly

5.0

This is an EXCELLENT middle grade series set in the early 1900s in Texas, narrated by Calpurnia who’s the only girl in her family (with 6 brothers!) It’s funny, but also has a great plot and the role of her eccentric-but-scholarly grandfather is unique. He is teaching Calpurnia all sorts of interesting science skills such as observation and using a Scientific Notebook to document her findings. I highly recommend this chapter book series, especially to children who love stories involving animals.
