From School Library Journal

Grade 3-4 Third-grade Anna seems to have a penchant for getting herself involved in troublesome situations. The first thing that happens when the Skoggens family moves into an old house in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, is that Anna gets stuck in the milk chute. Anna is jealous of her older sister, Kimberly, who, Anna feels, isn't such a disappointment to her parents. Anna is an interesting character akin to Ramona, and readers will enjoy the antics of this lively girl who, among other things, is a collector of dead flies. A light, humorous chapter book for in-between readers who relish family/school stories similar to those written by such authors as Johanna Hurwitz, Barbara Park, or Nancy Robinson. Rita S. Padden, Lassen County Library, Susanville, Calif.
