December 05, 2006: Anastasia Krupnik is a story about an ambitious young fourth-grade girl who had dreams of becoming a poet as was her father. Her dreams were crushed, however, when her teacher, Mrs. Westvessel, gave her an F on her poetry project. As the year progressed, Anastasia became angrier and angrier. To make matters worse, all of the boys made fun of her. In addition her name was too long to fit on the front of a tee shirt. She desperately wanted a shirt with her name on it because each of the other fourth-grade girls had one with her own name printed on it. Another problem was the news that she was to be a big sister and no longer an only child. The biggest trauma of all was the death of her grandmother whom she had just gotten to know really well. The loss of her grandmother caused Anastasia to change her attitude. She finally realized the difference between minor and major problems. I believe Anastasia Krupnik will appeal to you, young students, because you will be able to relate to Anastasia?s problems. You will be able to relate to crushed dreams, to being teased by other students, to not having the same type of clothing as other have, to learning that one will no longer be the only child, to becoming close to a relative only to have him or her die soon afterward. You will be able to take with you the lessons that Anastasia learned from her fourth-grade experiences.
