The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, by Jacqueline Kelly
Oh look another historical novel about a tomboy living in rural 19th century USA!
This one though was written in the last few years and is set in Texas in 1899. Calpurnia (often known as Callie Vee) is the middle child of seven children, and all her siblings are boys. But instead of just a general interest in adventure/hijinks, she has an interest in SCIENCE, encouraged by her grandfather. Much to her parents' despair.
There was a lot to love about this book! Some good characterization, especially of Callie and her grandfather.
