Lois Lowry - 'Anastasia At This Address'

After reading 'Anastasia Absolutely', I just had to re-read at least one more of the Anastasia books! This one I had read before.

Anastasia decides to renounce "chasing boys" at the same time as she decides to answer an advertisement from a personal column. Clearly Single White Male (SWM) doesn't know Anastasia is a 13 year old. Anastasia, being Anastasia, is of course very careful to not lie to SWM. But will true compatibility conquer the age gap? In amongst all that Anastasia has to deal with the every day events and life of being a teen aged girl. All done in a very funny way.

Once again, highly recommended and I think I will have to look on the shelves and see if there are any more there!

Lois Lowry 'Anastasia, Absolutely'

I have just put new bookshelves into the girls' playroom so we are reorganising all their books. During the process I came across this book which is one I haven't read before. I loved the 'Anastasia' books when I was younger and must have picked this one up for the girls and didn't read it at the time!

Funny and yet at the same time this book deals with serious issues in true Anastasia style! Anastasia has to deal with "Values" as a school topic at the same time that she is having to make some serious moral choices of her own thanks to her dog, an early morning walk and a serious mix up.

Highly recommend this book for any confident young reader.
