Produktbeschreibung

In the early twentieth century, a Texas girl's love of the natural world starts her off on a path beyond her expectations in this young readers' adventure.

In the aftermath of 1900's devastating Galveston hurricane, fate has brought Calpurnia Tate together with her older cousin-a female veterinarian. Inspired, Callie Vee starts envisioning a future for herself despite society's-and her parents'-belief in the limited roles women should fulfill.

And with her brother Travis bringing home strays, Callie has her hands full keeping the animals-her brother included-away from her mother's critical eye.

Whether wrangling a rogue armadillo or stray dog, a guileless younger brother or standoffish cousin, Callie Vee and her escapades will have readers laughing and crying in this return to Fentress, Texas.
