To Anastasia, being ten is very confusing. She has an awful teacher who doesn’t like her non-rhyming poetry. Washburn Cummings, a very interesting boy, doesn't even know she's alive. And her parents insist that she visit her grandmother, who can’t even remember Anastasia's name. On top of that, they're going to have a baby—at their age! To get back at them, she just might have to do something terrible.

With the books’ fantastic new look, Anastasia is poised to garner a new generation of fans.

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.
