I enjoyed this book because Anastasia follows her dream...sort of. At the beginning, she's not even sure if she wants to be a bookstore owner...but is considering modeling... I've always liked the Anastasia books, such as Anastasia at This Address and Anastasia on Her Own, but this book has an artistic flare all its own. I haven't yet read another book when a girl changes this much from beginning to end. She gets something out of going to the other side of Boston, but not at all what she expected!

Have you ever thought about what you would like to be when you grow up? Anastasia Krupnik is a 13-year girl (the main character in this story) who wants to be a fashion model. Her dad, Dr. Krupnik wants her to own her own bookstore. If you read this book, you will learn that Anastasia has many funny adventures and meets new friends. Like riding the bus into the city by herself and meeting Henry Peabody. To find out if Anastasia will be a model or a bookstore owner you should read this book. Take my word for it this book is funny, but you make the decision.

Anastasia returns to form in this volume of the series. Anastasia decides to take a modeling class to help her with her school project "My Chosen Career"...which is to be a bookstore owner. That sounds like the most excellent career in the world. However, this is also the least realistic of the Anastasia books so far. I find it unrealistic that the Krupniks would let their 13 year old daughter attend a modeling class in downtown Boston by herself. I find it unrealistic that Robert Giannini who appeared in the first and second books of this series would coincidentally show up in this same class. I also find it unrealistic that a 13 year old would have saved up enough babysitting money to take a $119 modeling course in 1987. I remember being paid $3 an hour to babysit in 1991. Oh, well. I always enjoy reading this book, even as an adult.

This book is about a girl named Anastasia Krupnik. She has to choose a career then write a report about the career she chose. I really enjoyed this book beacause the 2 careers she picked is probably what I would pick when I grow up.This book was great!!

I really liked this book. It was the 1st Anastia Book I had ever read, and now i am on my 4th one! I strongly recomed it.

Lois Lowry has written another great Anastasia book! I loved it! I really liked it when Anastasia practiced saying "Stick it in you ear, Turkey." to her goldfish, Frank. It was hilarious from beginning to end!

I think that this book was very boring because all it talks about is Anastasia going to modeling school and interviewing a bookstore owner in Downtown Boston for a school project. Characters in this book are Anastasia Krupnik and Henry Peabody. They both went to modeling school and became best friends. I do not recommend this book to anyone unless you want to be seriously bored.

This book got on my nerves. I absolutely hated it, and couldn't bare to read anymore about halfway through. If you want a horribly boring experience, go on, read it. If not, stay away from this book. Don't say I didn't warn you.
