Anastasia, Absolutely

By Lois Lowry

Book Overview

Irrepressible Anastasia is in junior high now and participating in the "Values" curriculum through which students learn to make moral decisions. Early one morning she hits the Cambridge streets with her pooper-scooper to walk her new dog. In her half-awake groggy state Anastasia mixes up the two plastic bags she's carrying: one containing letters to be deposited in the mailbox for her mother and the other with her responsible morning gatherings. She's too embarrassed to call the post office to confess and she begins to feel more and more guilty and scared as she notices some intense local police activity in the vicinity of the mailbox. What will Anastasia do?

Another great ANASTASIA..a load of dogpoop

This book focuses on Anastasia trying not to be "wishywashy"(I have a bear called WishyWoshy.And the main plot centres around dog poop and how it saves a mailbox from exploding.Long live dog poop.

Anastasia,Absolutely

I liked how funny this book was. I thought it was funny when Anastasia put the bag of poop in the mailbox instead of the letters her mom told her to put in the mailbox which was already late. I was glad this book had a dog in it because I love dogs. I thought it was cool that Anastasia put the bag of poop in the mailbox right after the guy put the bomb in the mailbox. I thought that was cool because then she stopped the bomb from exploding and she didn't know that.

Join Anasataia Krupnik on her wildest adventure.

If you love funny you have to read this book!

I recently read the book Anastasia Absolutely By Lois Lowry. It is a book for all ages because it is very funny. It is a chapter book and the reading level is 4.5, but everyone in your family will love the book. The characters in the book are Anastasia, her dog, Mom, Dad, the police, and her little brother. Anastasia's mother tells her to take the dog for a walk and mail a very important letter to a publisher. Like most people Anastasia carries a plastic bag with her to carry her dog's dodo. When Anastasia gets to the mailbox she is not paying any attention and puts the dog's dodo in the mailbox instead of the letter to the publisher that is already a day late. Anastasia does not notice until she gets home what she has done. Obviously now she cannot go back to the mailbox and take it out. The next day on her way to school Anastasia sees the police at the mailbox. When she comes home from school the mailbox is gone. Anastasia thinks she will be arrested because what she did is a federal offense. This story takes place in the winter a few years ago. I recommend you read this book because it is a very funny book and everyone will love it. I give it 4.5 stars and one great review.
