Anastasia Krupnik answers a personal ad, and by stretching the truth, finds herself in quite a predicament when the special "he" wants to meet her.


  • A Secret Pen Pal: Thirteen-year-old Anastasia is sure the charming 28-year-old man from the personal ads is her soulmate. The only problem? He thinks she’s 22.
  • A Little White Lie… Or Three: To keep up the ruse, Anastasia invents a new life for herself—one that includes a glamorous photo (of her mom) and her very own sloop (a toy boat).
  • A Surprise Wedding Guest: As if being a junior bridesmaid wasn’t stressful enough, Anastasia discovers her mystery man is going to be at the wedding. And he’s looking for "Swifty."
  • A Humorous Coming of Age Story: A classic, laugh-out-loud tale from beloved author Lois Lowry about friendship, family, and finding out that growing up is more complicated than it looks.
