Anastasia Krupnik (Lois Lowry)

Summary: To Anastasia Krupnik, being ten is very confusing.  For one thing, she has this awful teacher who can't understand why Anastasia doesn't capitalize or punctuate her poems.  Then, there's Washburn Cummings, a very interesting sixth-grade boy who doesn't even know she is alive.  Even her parents have become difficult.  They insist she visit her 92-year-old grandmother who can never remember Anastasia's name.  On top of that, they're going to have a baby--at their age!  It's enough to make a kid want to do something terrible.  Anastasia knows that if she didn't have her secret green notebook to write in, she would never make it to her eleventh birthday.  (from amazon.com)
