This book has a copyright date of 1979, and it 's the first in a series, but I had never heard of it until I picked it up at my library today. How did I miss these books when I was an avid reader kid? Strange!
In this book, Anastasia is 10 years old. She is smart and feisty and clever, spunky and a bit sassy, but not a pain in the neck like that Junie B. girl. I like Anastasia, I wish she had been my friend when I was ten.

A classic! For us bookish girls, Anastasia with her professor parents and bohemian lifestyle was a dream come true!
The first one, in which she names Sam. I love the Anastasia books (except the ones written later, which sucked) and All About Sam. The Krupniks are an awesome family and Anastasia's parents are hilarious and loving. Her friend Daphne, the type of girl your parents would call a bad influence, was a smart addition to the series. I love the between-chapter gimmick in each book -- journaling in the first, tracking the gerbils in Ask Your Analyst, lists in On Her Own, her novel in Has the Answers. Hi

Anastasia is one of the best characters every created! Wise beyond her years but ultimately an awkward, unsure adolescent trying to find her place in her world. I loved all Lowry's books about her. Definitely one I will read to my kids one day.
