ANASTASIA KRUPNIK

"Anastasia Krupnik is opinionated, sassy and funny. Really funny. This 10-year-old has an offbeat take on life that is both amusing and refreshing. And what makes Anastasia entertaining is how she keeps the audience privy to all the angst a 10-year-old can muster񗝄and it's plenty. Anastasia keeps a list of the things she loves񗝄the little pink wart on her finger񗝄and the things she hates񗝄her teacher񗝄in her zealously guarded green notebook. At one point she is ridiculed by her teacher because her poetry assignment doesn't rhyme [she gets an F]񗝖 When her dad reads the poem he exclaims: 'This is an F񗝄for fabulous!' Anastasia turns to the audience, grinning from ear to ear, and announces with pride, 'The year I was 10, I wrote a fabulous poem.'"(The Daily News) When her parents tell her they are expecting a baby񗝄a boy at that񗝄Anastasia considers leaving her family and becoming a Catholic like her best friend, Jennifer. She'll get to wear a wedding dress񗝄"they make them small for Catholics"񗝄and pick a new name񗝄Anastasia Perpetua Krupnick.
