Author: Lois Liwry
Genre: Realistic fiction
Setting: Massachusetts, US probably around the 1970's
Summary: When, Anastasia's mom can't seem to get all of the housekeeping done, Anastasia and her dad make a schedule, but they have to keep changing it because there are always unexpected events. When her mom goes away on a work trip, Anastasia is left in charge of housekeeping. She assumes it will be easy with the schedule. But it turns out not to be so easy when her little brother Sam gets chicken pox, one of her dad's old friends invites herself over to the Krupnik's house, and Anastasia is trying to prepare for her first date.
I thought this books was pretty good. It didn't really have any action in it at all, but it did have some funny parts in it. People who get bored by books about a character's fairly normal life would probably be bored reading this. If you are who are looking for a book with funny characters, then you would probably enjoy this. Maybe.
