Anastasia's seventh-grade science project becomes almost more than she can handle, but brother Sam, age three, and a bust of Freud nobly aid her.
Anastasia's seventh-grade science project becomes almost more than she can handle, but her brother Sam, age three, and a bust of Freud, aid her nobly.
"Humorous situations and dialogue to match seem to roll effortlessly from Lowry's pen, and her characters are consistently real and believable."

She has received countless honors, among them the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award, the California Young Reader’s Medal, and the Mark Twain Award. She received Newbery Medals for two of her novels, NUMBER THE STARS and THE GIVER. Her first novel, A SUMMER TO DIE, was awarded the International Reading Association’s Children’s Book Award.

February 06, 2008: I believe the overall message of a girl entering adolescence is interesting. However, there are some remarks that I found unnecessary. Asking a 3 yr old if he is interested in sex, and sexually explicit jokes about how to make a horomone are not needed to pull the message across. I don't believe this age group needs to be bothered by these sideline antics.

June 30, 2004: This is my favorite Anastasia book so far! It was extremely funny to see Anastasia go through her science experiment and experience other things.
