Teachers and parents! Our Teacher Edition on Looking for Alibrandi makes teaching easy.
Anna is one of Josie’s best friends. She’s blonde and timid and so is often the target of jokes within the girls’ friend group. At the first regional dance, Anna meets Jacob’s friend Anton Valavic and immediately falls in love with him. The two enter a slow, gradual relationship over the course of the novel. Because Anna is so timid and quiet, Josie shares comparatively little about Anna’s personality. Anna is one of the two in the group who can drive, along with Sera, and tends to be naïve and romantic.

I’ve figured out that it doesn’t matter whether I’m Josephine Andretti who was never an Alibrandi, who should have been a Sandford and who may never be a Coote. It matters who I feel like I am—and I feel like Michael and Christina’s daughter and Katia’s granddaughter; Sera, Anna, and Lee’s friend, and Robert’s cousin.
