About this book

50th Anniversary Edition.

Nine-year-old Anna has always been the clumsy one in the family. Nine-year-old Anna Solden has always been the clumsy one in the family — somehow she can never do anything right. She bumps into tables, and she can’t read the chalkboard at school. Her perfect brothers and sisters call her “Awkward Anna.”

When Papa announces that the family is moving from Germany to Canada — he’s worried about what the Nazis’ rise to power will bring — Anna’s heart sinks. How can she learn English when she can’t even read German properly? But when the Soldens arrive in Canada, Anna learns that there is a reason for her clumsiness. And suddenly, wonderfully, her whole world begins to change.

Discover why generations of readers have loved this classic story by one of Canada’s most beloved storytellers.

Includes bonus content: how the story came to be, reader discussion questions and activities.
