Critical reception

[edit]

Carolyn Noah of the Worcester Public Library in Massachusetts reviewed the book in the School Library Journal. She highlights how each chapter begins with Anastasia's attempt at describing events in a journalistic manner, a feature unique to this book in the series. She further explains: "The language in Lowry's stories about Anastasia is always natural, but ... Answers also benefits from this stylistic variation. The surrounding characters, from baby brother Same playing funeral on the floor to bereaved "Clark Gablish" Uncle George are colorful and quirky and distinct. [...] The story's other elements fall, quite literally, into their own likely and lively places. Not only does Anastasia have the answers, but she's at the top of her form."[1]
