Description
Outspoken and irresistable as always, Anastasia Krupnik finds that when you exaggerate the truty, things don't always turn out as planned. Unfazed by her friends' decision to give up boys, Anastasia Krupnik answers a personal ad she finds in a magazine. When the special "he" decides he wants to meet her, Anastasia finds herself in quite a predicament--especially since her letters might have stretched the truth just a tiny bit... AGES: 10 - 12 AUTHOR: Lois Lowry is the author of more than thirty books for young adults, including the popular Anastasia Krupnik series.
