Humiliated.

That's how Anastasia Krupnik feels whenever she tries to climb the ropes in gym class. How come everyone else can climb up those hateful ropes?

Since Anastasia has decided to become a journalist, it should be easy to answer most questions. Then why can't she understand about Daphne Bellingham's parents' divorce? And why can't she please Ms. Willoughby in gym class?

Finally Anastasia thinks she has the answers! When a team of foreign educators comes to visit her school, she plans a big surprise that will amaze her classmates, Ms. Willoughby, and the visitors. What will she do when her big moment arrives?

`	emmejo , December 11, 2009 (view all comments by emmejo) Anastasia is frustrated. She can't climb ropes in gym class, she can't seem to make up her mind on even little things, her aunt just died and now her uncle is visiting. She tries to use her journalist's skills for analyzing her problems, but maybe there are some things that can't be broken down into a simple who, what, where, when and most of all, why. Maybe I would have liked this more when I was younger. It seemed extremely unrealistic and simplistic to me. I just didn't like any of the characters, the plot was flat and very faint, and it felt falsely cheerful.
