All About Sam (1988) is a children's novel by Lois Lowry. It is the first in a series of four novels about the character Sam Krupnik; a character Lowry had developed earlier in her books on Sam's older sister, Anastasia Krupnik . [ 1 ]
In contrast, Sam received more negative reviews from several prominent critics. The Boston Globe published a review of the book by Priscilla Gilman who criticized Goodman's control of the various character's voices and criticized what she saw as a lack of reflection throughout the novel, describing the book as "YA masquerading as adult fiction."
Anastasia Krupnik (1979) is the first book of a popular series of middle-grade novels by Lois Lowry, depicting the title character's life as a girl "just trying to grow up." Anastasia deals with everyday problems such as popularity, the wart on her thumb or the new arrival of her little brother, Sam.
Sam Krupnik is excited to have a new pair of plastic fangs, but his "fangphobic" mother won't allow him to wear them in the house. Angry at her, Sam is determined to run away to Sleetmute, Alaska and live with the walruses: since walruses have fangs, they won't mind Sam's fangs, either.

Featuring crapcans, breakdowns, heroes, and dreamers.
Kirkus Reviews praised the book, describing it as "warm, lively, true to children's real inner lives, and laugh-aloud funny all the way." [1] While a review in Publishers Weekly found the book generally enjoyable (in particular, praising the relationship between Sam and Anastasia), it wrote that the book's target age range was unclear, with Anastasia's subplot more fitting for older readers.
