Résumé
Anastasia's tenth year has some good things, like falling in love and really getting to know her grandmother, and some bad things, like finding out about an impending baby brother.
Her green notebook is about to get very, very full.
- An Unwanted Sibling: Anastasia is less than thrilled about the new arrival. Her secret choice for his name is the most terrible one she can think of.
- A Hilarious First Crush: She’s in love with sixth-grader Washburn Cummings. He, unfortunately, thinks her new hairdo makes her look like she stuck her finger in a socket.
- Fourth Grade Problems: From a teacher who gives her poem an F to navigating school clubs, being ten is more complicated than it looks.
- A Quirky Family Story: With a poet father, a painter mother, and a whole lot of opinions, life in the Krupnik apartment is never, ever boring.
