 Feeling
in desperate need of psychotherapy, seventh-grader Anastasia
buys a plaster bust of Sigmund Freud at a garage sale and consults
him as her life takes a series of twists and turns. Freud remains
enigmatic and unjudgmental as Anastasia's science project goes hopelessly
awry and even her usually unflappable mother, Katherine Krupnik,
loses her cool.
"With wonderful wit, emotional honesty and humor's
saving grace, the Anastasia books artfully offer an education in
understanding the world." --What's So Funny? Wit and Humor
in American Children's Literature, by Michael Cart
