Must Read Book!!

Lois Lowry has written many great novels including Anastasia at This Address. The main character is Anastasia; she is a spunky, city girl, from Boston, Massachusetts. Anastasia is 13 and wants a boyfriend. Anastasia does something very unusual to accomplish her goal. This book is a must read book! The novel deals with relationships, because Anastasia wants a relationship with someone who is 13 years older than her. When Anastasia is waiting for a letter from her ?pen pal? the anticipation is greatly increased. Some novels have great expectations as does this one, I expected it would deal with growing up and it did. As you can see this book is a must read.

Hilarious!

This is a wonderful book. It is one of the very best in the Anastasia series. It is absolutely hilarious and really draws you in. It is such a page-turner. One thing that is great about it is a total twist of plot near the end which is a total surprise that made me laugh even more. Though I wouldn't advise lying in reply to a personal ad, it was all done in naivete and it actually teaches a moral. Find out what a rut Anastasia gets into for lies on top of lies. She really learns the consequence of her actions. A great read.

Hilarious and entertaining!

I loved this book! It was my favorite of all the Anastasia books! When I guessed the ending 3/4 of the way through, I was delighted to find out I was right. Anastasia is such a naive, flighty character that she's a joy to read about...and often reminds me of myself. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good laugh.

EXCITING!

A seventh grade 13-year-old sees an ad in a magazine and twists the truth and identifies herself as SWM. She gets an answer and finds out it is her best friends uncle!

A Wonderful Addition!

Anastasia, like some people, like reading the "Personals" section. Anastasia thinks she will never find the person she has been dreaming of unless she reads this section. And luck - a Single White Male is looking for some tall woman who loves Caribbean evenings and reruns of Casablanca - although she has never been to the Caribbean - she is tall, and loves Casablanca. She writes letters to this person often until he wants to meet her. She feels as if she will humiliate herself, and when she goes to her friend's sister's wedding, she gets a surprise of her life.
