Jacqueline Kelly knows how you feel and knows how to help.

Simplified Chinese edition of The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate (Calpurnia Tate (2))

When the Tate family dog, Ajax, has a run-in with a porcupine, it will take Callie's quick thinking and all her veterinary skills to save her beloved pet.

Nessuna delle cose terribili che sono accadute sarebbe necessariamente accaduta se la puzzola non avesse attirato l'attenzione su di sé sradicando le piante nel nostro giardino e rubando un mazzo di verdure. E se babbo non avesse detto al bracciante di piazzare una trappola e ucciderla. E se non fosse venuto fuori che la puzzola era una femmina con un cucciolo nascosto in una tana nelle vicinanze. E se mio fratello minore Travis non avesse sentito il cucciolo affamato piangere e non si fosse fermato a indagare. Ma questa sfortunata serie di eventi si verificò e Travis finì per ricevere una punizione e diventare un eroe nello stesso preciso momento.

Calpurnia and her grandfather rescue a barn owl from the river and, with the help of Dr. Pritzker, dead mice, and some detective work, nurse it back to health.

Calpurnia adore les animaux. Son frère Travis aussi. Elle rêve de devenir vétérinaire, plus tard. Lui, ce qu''il aime, c''est les apprivoiser, les prendre sous son aile.

Comment résister pourtant aux cris déchirants d''un bébé mouffette orphelin, seul dans la forêt ? Calpurnia et Travis ne peuvent pas le laisser livrer à lui-même... Il va falloir l''aider, sans se faire remarquer. Mais attention... une mouffette peut en cacher une autre !

Et son grand-père initie Calpurnia aux mystères des sciences naturelles. La famille de Calpurnia accueille sa cousine Aggie, et, surtout, un vétérinaire vient s'installer près de chez eux. Pour Calpurnia, c'est l'occasion rêvée de donner enfin corps à ses ambitions... A partir de 13 ans.

Calpurnia Tate, unica femmina di una famiglia con sei fratelli, è sicura che il nuovo secolo porterà un grande cambiamento nella sua vita e che il suo tredicesimo anno di vita sarà bellissimo. Finalmente la mamma si convincerà che lei non è fatta per suonare il pianoforte e imparare a cucire, ma per studiare la natura meravigliosa che la circonda, con l’aiuto del nonno e della sua sterminata e fantastica biblioteca. Certo, non è facile per una ragazza della sua epoca sfuggire a certi stereotipi, anche se Calpurnia ci prova con tutte le forze, armata del suo Taccuino Scientifico e di una insaziabile curiosità verso il mondo intorno a lei, pieno di meraviglie, abitato da armadilli in crisi, ghiandaie ferite, procioni in fuga, cavallette, lombrichi... Dopo il grande successo dell’Evoluzione di Calpurnia, torna una delle protagoniste più amate della letteratura per ragazzi degli ultimi anni, in una nuova avventura alla scoperta della natura e di se stessa e alla ricerca con ironia e dolcezza del proprio posto nel mondo.
