A seventh-grade assignment requires Anastasia to choose her future career. After the last couple of Anastasia books sagged a little, this one was back in shape. Many episodes that had me laughing out loud in a well structured story. Anastasia is assigned to do a report for school on her chosen career. She wants to run a bookstore, but she believes she needs more poise and charm to do so. So over a school break, she enrolls in a modeling school's week long class for middle schoolers. And while in Boston taking the course, she'll also interview a bookstore owner. Nothing turns out as she expected. The modeling school is in a run-down dingy building and is run by an overweight old woman and her even more overweight husband. The bookstore owner doesn't have a clue how to run a business, but just lives on her husband's income and enjoys owing a bookstore that doesn't make any money. At the modeling school, Anastasia meets Henrietta "Henry - call me Henrietta and you die" Peabody, and to her surprise, Robert Giannini, (a weird kid from the original Anastasia book) comes to the school as well. Drawbacks: several insensitive comments about overweight people, and after Henry (who is 13 years old mind you) gets a haircut at the modeling school, she is so beautiful that grown men are ogling her... which made me pretty uncomfortable. 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. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
