Synopsis

In the third book of the Anastasia series, Anstasia becomes an entrepreneur. When Anastasia's best friend goes off to camp for the summer, Anastasia decides she needs to do something too. So she starts her own business. Her first job is as a Lady's Companion. But what seems like an easy summer job turns into one problem after another. First off, turns out Lady's Companion is actually just a fancy way of saying maid. And then she accidently throws a silver bockle into the garbage disposal. How will she ever manage to pay for that? And what is a bockle, anyway?

About this title

Review:

"For the third time straight, Lowry's right on target in capturing the thoughts and emotions of a twelve-year-old girl." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review

From the Back Cover:

She's a crackle-brained, fizzle-headed, freckle-faced dynamo who can usually get her own way.

But with boredom, poverty, depression and a younger brother threatening her existence, there is nothing else for it... she will have to get a job.

Anastasia thinks that doing the dishes at home is boring, but doing it for 'someone else' s'family is far beneath 'The Girl Who Thinks for Herself!'

'... fast and unfailingly funny.'
