 Rating:  - Works On Many LevelsHarriet The Spy was one of my favorites growing up and I had not read it in a long time and looking back I am not quite sure if all of the messages and meanings in the book can be fully understood by younger readers completely. That is not meant in a bad way at all, the book works as a general reading book for younger more advanced readers in terms of the plot and Harriet as she goes through her life and journal, together with the ramifications of what those bring when the journal is ... Read More Rating:  - THE PRICE OF FRIENDSHIPEleven-year-old Harriet M. Welsch experiences stormy days in 6th grade as a result of her habit/hobby/obsession: writing down her thoughts and observations in a notebook all during the day. Not just on her after-school Spy Route (when she snoops through windows and even sneaks into private homes to ferret out information about her adult neighbors).

But most of all, I recognized a kindred spirit - a child who was not always kind, felt ...

My daughter was a writer from an early age, and has been known to carry around a journal, to record events and ideas. We were both devastated when Harriet's classmates got their hands on her notebook and read about her impressions of them. If you have a tendency to spy or are curious about the world, you will ... Read More Rating:  - A Story of a Brat with Very Little ActionHere's another book from four decades ago that doesn't hold up well compared to today's superior children's books. I was yearning for way more action. And definitely more wackiness. There are a few wacky and clever happenstances yet I wanted more of that and less of Harriet sitting around thinking, complaining and writing, thinking, writing and complaining. The first half of the book was okay, but after that I lost interest. Harriet was not interesting enough, for me anyway, to care about what happened ... Read More
