Lois Lowry is one of the biggest names in chapter books, and the winner of two Newbery Medals for The Giver and Number the Stars, but the Anastasia books, of which there are nine, are her cult classics. But one who is actually fairly ordinary, albeit in a special way: Anastasia Krupnik. Not a character who imagines themselves to be perfectly ordinary only to find out that they are, in fact, very special-so special in fact that their life’s work will be to shield an entire Community from the crushing pain of memory. With all due respect to Jonas from The Giver, my heart belongs to a different Lois Lowry protagonist. ![]() ![]() We don't allow personal recommendation posts.

Daniel-sure they’re meant to be-is determined to get Natasha to fall in love with him (using a scientific list). Daniel feels what in Japanese is called koi no yokan, “the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them.” The narrative alternates between the pair, their first-person accounts punctuated by musings that include compelling character histories. When Natasha and Daniel meet, Natasha’s understandably distracted-and doesn’t want to be distracted by Daniel. Fact: his parents, Korean immigrants, expect him to attend an Ivy League school and become an M.D. Daniel’s a poet who believes in love, something that can’t be explained. Fact: undocumented immigrants in the U.S., her family is being deported to Jamaica in a matter of hours. Natasha believes in science and facts, things she can quantify. Natasha and Daniel meet, get existential, and fall in love during 12 intense hours in New York City. ![]() |
