![]() ![]() She also must face her ailing grandmother, who suffers from dementia and can't ever remember Anastasia's name, her eccentric parents, trying to fit in at school, and worst of all, the news that there will be a new baby brother joining her small family. Though this is her first major event of the year, it certainly won't be the last. In the first book of the series released in 1979, Anastasia Krupnik, we meet our heroine shortly after her 10th birthday, when she discovers a wart on her thumb. So it's time for us Anastasia Krupnik fangirls to unite and remind everyone what makes this 10-year-old so wonderful. But none of this bothers Anastasia herself - she's probably just putting us all on her hate list. And even within Lowry's massive resume of middle grade books, Anastasia tends to fall third in memory, behind The Giver and Number the Stars. Lois Lowry's precocious 10-year-old Anastasia Krupnik often plays second fiddle to Beverly Cleary's Ramona Quimby. ![]()
