This book is about a 12-year-old girl named Calpurnia who wants to be a naturalist when she grows up. Each day, Calpurnia spends time at the creek with her grandfather, and learns about the wonders of nature. The positive elements of this book are that Calpurnia is a fast learner and that she has seen things in nature that not everyone could see in a lifetime. I think that teens should read this book.
