Anastasia's Chosen Career - Paperback

by Lois Lowry (Author)

In her seventh adventure, the irrepressible Anastasia decides that she needs more poise and confidence--especially since her chosen career is to be a bookstore owner. A flyer on her father's windshield convinces her that charm school at Studio Charmante will teach her just that. But a week in modeling school may be just what Anastasia needs to realize that, just maybe, she already has what it takes.

This funny and heartfelt classic is about more than just makeovers.

• Humorous Middle Grade: Full of witty observations and laugh-out-loud moments as Anastasia navigates the absurdities of Studio Charmante and seventh grade.
• Relatable Tween Problems: From feeling like a "nearsighted, big-nosed freak" to dealing with old acquaintances like Robert Giannini, Anastasia's struggles are pure coming-of-age.
• A Classic Children's Series: Join the beloved and irrepressible Anastasia in her seventh adventure, a perfect read for fans of Judy Blume and funny, realistic fiction.
