Anastasia Krupnik

Book 1 in the Anastasia Krupnik series

by Lois Lowry

read by C.J. Critt

Just after her tenth birthday Anastasia Krupnik starts two lists. One is for THINGS I LOVE!, the other is for THINGS I HATE! The things Anastasia loves include Mounds candy bars, the lovely pink wart that just popped out on her left thumb, and Washburn Cummings, a boy from her class. But the THINGS I HATE! column is growing bigger and bigger by the minutes, starting with her name, which is so long it won't fit across a tee shirt without disappearing into her armpits.

Freckles and liver and pumpkin pie are bad enough, but now Anastasia's parents have decided to make her life miserable by having a baby. So, even though it is already too cramped in their tiny apartment, in nine months there will be a new baby brother in the house taking up everyone's time and attention.

When her parents try to often the blow by allowing her to choose a name for the baby, Anastasia thinks she has found her revenge. On one of the last pages in her green notebook, in extremely small print, Anastasia pencils in the most terrible name she can think of.
