“The well-turned phrase amuses, and the unexpected turn of events surprises in a plot that is tightly strung.” - Booklist, starred review ALA Notable Book
So when they told Anastasia she could name the new baby when the time came, she wrote in the back of her green notebook the most terrible name she could think of. And what’s more, he was entirely unnecessary. There was no room for him, as Anastasia pointed out to her parents. Like being the only girl in the fourth grade with a name too long to fit across a tee shirt without disappearing into her armpits.Īnd then there was the matter of an impending baby brother. And really getting to know her grandmother, who was ninety-two and lived in a nursing home and could never remember her granddaughter’s name. Like falling in love with Washburn Cummings, who had a fantastic way of walking. It had appeared shortly after her tenth birthday and was only one of the things that were important about that year.

Being ten is so hard, especially when you have to make lists about all the things you hate.
