Anastasia's world is about to be turned upside down. Her parents are doing the worst thing imaginable: they're moving. To the suburbs!Once again Anastasia returns with her moody, realistic view of the world and discovers that things aren't necessarily as bad as you can imagine them to be. I continue to enjoy the Anastasia books, because I love the family dynamics. Both parents are available and interested without catering to their kids' every whim. I also really enjoy the way Lowry writes kidsIf you haven't read an Anastasia book you are truly missing out. This is pre-Judy Blume, pre-Alice McKinley. What great female characters are made of. She has spunk, a good heart, she loves to write, and she wants to make sure she fits in some explicit sex in the mystery novel she is writing. (Oh, and Nancy Drew bores her because it's not subtle enough.) Her dad is a professor/poet; her mom is a painter; her brother Sam is a pip. He acts like the oldest 2-year-old I have ever met. There is also
I didn't like this book. It was kind of boring, and bland for me, and didn't have much of a plot. The main character was moving, and didn't want to, and for me, that just was kind of boring. And the house that they found was little unrealistic, and I didn't think that it totally followed the main flow of the book.
I don't know how many times I've read this book -- my copy is falling to pieces. I think I prefer this book even to the first one -- Anastasia makes me laugh so much. It's a story about family life: 12-year-old Anastasia doesn't want to leave her flat in the city to move into the suburbs, but her new home surprises her. It's a very charming book which avoids being twee by creating Anastasia who is angry and frequently unlikable though always relateable, Sam the clever and badly behaved baby
The Anastasia books are always excellent!
Good grief. Was this hilarious, for Pete's sake! I read this because I've read a few of Lois Lowry's post apocalypitc books. Good grief, what a polar opposite this was, but not surprising. It's really a kid's book, for Pete's sake. Good grief, a few chapters in I was thinking this was too kids orientated for me, but, it got better and funnier as the story unfolded. Ms. Lowry is brilliant, for Pete's sake. As she said in her intro, she remembered how it felt to be a kid, even Anastasia's age
The book is narrated by Anastasia who is the main character. She talked about in first person and was a reliable source because of the information she gave. The book is set in modern time period and takes place mainly in the suburbs. The setting influenced the plot of the book by making everything clear as to what was happening. When her parents tell her the bad news about moving to the suburbs, Anastasia begins to think all these bad things shes heard about the suburbs. The genre of the book is
