"Anastasia Krupnik is one of the most intriguing female protagonists to appear in children's books since the advent of Harriet the Spy . . . Genuinely funny, the story is a marvelously human portrait of an articulate adolescent."

March 18, 2000: I really enjoyed all of the Anastasia books by Lois Lowry. It's obvious to see that she knows kids because they are definitely written from a kid's perspective. I'm an adult and read them all as an adult and I found that they not only held my interest, but provided a lot of entertainment for me. The author really has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend these to children and adults alike. I just wish Lois Lowry would write some more about Anastasia!
