Plot summary
Federal offense. Anastasia's steps slowed when she repeated the phrase to herself She wasn't entirely certain what it meant, but it sounded grim. Tampering with the mail: she wasn't entirely certain what that meant either But maybe she was - or would be - in big trouble.
What could possibly go wrong when Anastasia Krupnik walks to a mailbox early one morning with two packages and a dog? A mail mix-up of a most embarrassing kind! As her school "Values" class debates moral issues, and the local police confiscate the corner mailbox, Anastasia faces a dilemma of her own. Should she confess? What is the right thing to do? With her characteristic integrity and humor, Anastasia weighs her options and makes a decision.
Anastasia is growing up and facing new challenges, and you can bet that she'll rise to them in her uniquely thoughtful and charming way.
Critical Reception
The
School Library Journal said "
The plot is pretty far-fetched and the dog-doo dilemma packs only so much humor. The Values class assignments tagged to the end of each chapter--scenarios drawn from modern life--are also a letdown.
The ``wishy-washy responses from Anastasia and her family reveal neither humor nor depth of thought and are out of character from the Krupniks we've come to know. While children have come to expect more from this very talented author, the book is packed with believable dialogue and references to current groups and situations.".
