Anastasia Krupnik by Lois Lowry
Anastasia has got to be one of my favorite characters. I love her sense of humor, her family, and how she is a list-maker (I am too!)
This is the first Anastasia story and there are lots more. She is 10 years old, in love with Washburn Cummings, not sure if she likes her teacher and is about to become a big sister for the first time. Something that she definitely does not want to be. Her parents tell her that she can name the new baby-a boy. She thinks of the worst name possible, and writes it down in her journal. But a lot of things have yet to happen to Anastasia before the baby is born. As her list of Things I Love and Things I Hate change, so does Anastasia. A sweet, fun book.
