Description

Featuring the charming characters from the Newbery Honor Book The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, this exciting chapter book series introduces young readers to Callie Vee and the rough-and-tumble world of turn-of-the-century Texas. Callie and Travis need sheep for the town Christmas pageant, where Travis is playing the shepherd in the Nativity scene. However, due to a shortage of sheep, they decide to borrow goats instead, leading to unexpected chaos as the goats wreak havoc by eating everything in sight. This Christmas pageant in Fentress is one that the town won't forget.
