Product Description
From Amazon
Ages 8-12. The first and best book in the very popular series describes the ups and downs of a precocious ten-year-old girl. Anastasia loves keeping lists of important information in her green notebook; when she discovers that her mother is pregnant, she instantly adds two new items to her "things I hate" list: "My parents" and "babies." But as the year passes, Anastasia finds that the items on her lists keep moving around; by the time her baby brother is born, the only thing left to hate is liver. An unusually warm, insightful and original portrait of childhood and family life, this is a special and memorable story. Horn Book called Anastasia "an amusing and engaging heroine" and The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books wrote, "the whole book is a delight."
Review
"The well-turned phrase amuses, and the unexpected turn of events surprises in a plot that is tightly strung." (Booklist, ALA, Starred Review )

Coming-of-age for smart kids,
By Zoja (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anastasia Krupnik (Paperback)
A great beginning to a great series. Nothing sentimental or overdramatic here, just a quirky, smart kid growing up. This is a perfect gift for young, bright girls.

You really should read this,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anastasia Krupnik (Paperback)
This is a really great book. I read it when I was ten, and I thought it was great. Now I'm almost thirteen,but I still love the series! If you're 10,11,12,or 13, in at least one of these books, Anastasia will be your exact age! The characters in the series are totally real, and you can probably find one who's just like you. You'll really love this book AND all the rest in the series, if you're 10 or 110!!!

Anastasia debut doesn't bring the house down,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anastasia Krupnik (Paperback)
Anastasia Krupnik doesn't match up to the others. Anastasia is interested in a boy named: brace yourself: Washburn Cummings. Washurn has an afro and listens to Roberta Flack. Hmm. Washburn does not like Anastasia. Anastasia sticks with her goldfish, Frank, and her little green notebook. Somehow, this doesn't match the other books.
