![]() ![]() No, it is NOT funny or okay for a man to tell his little girl and her friend to take off their clothes. ![]() ![]() Not only is it not giggle-worthy, but children need to know before the age of seven how to recognize what kind of adult behavior toward children isn't okay, and a lot of children reading a novel like this would be younger than twelve. You were only seven years old, for pete's sake." Maybe the frequent uses of "good grief" and "for pete's sake" are also supposed to be funny, but the repetition got old to me after the first several times.Īlso, the little account about a little girl's dad (not Anastasia or Anastasia's dad) making a movie where the little girl and her little friend (also not Anastasia) "had to run on the beach with no clothes on while he took movies," and the moviemaker dad (of course) didn't tell his little daughter's little friend's parents he was going to do that, and Anastasia now giggles at the account about the other two girls, telling one of them, "It wasn't porno or anything, though. So.although Anastasia's moodiness is realistic for a twelve-year-old, and I can see why her sarcasm is meant to be humorous to the reader, I couldn't always laugh because even after enjoying Book One, I still don't dig how smart-alecky Anastasia is with her parents, and I couldn't find her too likable through the attitude. ![]()
