(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Josie Portillo. Almost-eleven newly orphaned Anastasia McCrumpet has been adopted--that is, kidnapped--by her bloodsucking aunts, Prim and Prude. With help from two shadowboys, a librarian, and a baron, she plots her escape. Influences of Roald Dahl and Lemony Snicket are unmistakable. Scatalogical humor is well-tempered by the melodramatic Victorian narration ("Dear Reader," etc.). Whimsical illustrations and a Victorian "Etiquette Manual" are included.
Reviewer: Lauren Rizzuto
