Calpurny. Collignon D.

1899, Texas. 11-year-old Calpurnia is interested in nature and brings all his observations and questions into the diary. Why do dogs have eyelashes? Why are the yellow grasshoppers large and the green grasshoppers are small? Grandfather, a self-taught naturalist helps her.

But six brothers and conservative parents live in the house. And in their opinion, if you are a girl and born at the dawn of the 20th century, then you should only be interested in good manners and table setting. But what if science could open the way to freedom?
