1: Not the best Anastasia book, but still a fun read...
Now 13, Anastasia Krupnik feels that her life has suddenly gotten weird. Nothing's really changed -- her parents and three-year-old brother Sam are just as they used to be -- but somehow, Anastasia's filled with embarrassment just thinking about them.
Determined to get to the bottom of things, Anastasia insists on getting a therapist ASAP. When her parents refuse, Anastasia takes matters into her own hands -- quite literally, when she's at a garage sale and a plaster bust of Sigmund Freud falls on her. Anastasia takes him home, thrilled to have not only a therapist, but the world's most famous.
To top things off, Anastasia' friend has given her two gerbils, which she decides to use for her science project. Before long, Anastasia's got ELEVEN gerbils -- which she's got to hide from her mother, who was squeamish enough about the idea of two...
While this book is funny and smart, like all the Anastasia books, it's not the best in the series. Lowry always writes the character and her family well, but the plots in the book seem largely recycled from countless other books for readers in the same age bracket.

2: not one of the better Anastasia books
This book, though it had some funny parts like all Anastasia books, was not as good as some of the other ones. Anastasia, though she seems really mature at times, in this book, seemed really immature. I mean, talking to her pretend analyst--come on! There were other parts that were immature, which I won't get into. She doesn't seem like a 13-year-old but more like a 10 or 11-year-old in parts. I am also tired of the racist views in these books, including this one. Anastasia doesn't believe a Chinese person can be named Stanley. She is so naive. Doesn't she know that Chinese Americans usually have American names?Also, some parts were just plain gross! But you will have to read it to find out. If you are a fan of Anastasia books, this should still be added to your collection. I recommend Anastasia At This Address, as that one is much better and even funnier.

3: Anastasia...funny girl that one
Anastasia is sure she is going insane so she buys a big statue of Freuds head and talks to it every day.This is a fantastic series,highly recommende buy moi!!(Now,what they decided to do with the gerbils at the end...was that really revenge on Nicky,or was it cruel to the gerbils!!)
|
4: GREAT
THIS BOOK GETS AN A+++! iT DEALS WITH KID'S PROBLEMS AND FINDING YOURSELF!!
|
5: Poor gerbils
I agree that gerbils are poorly mistreated in this book. I will not recommend it to anyone.
