Harriet the Spy is a book I always knew about and never read. For no reason in particular that I can remember (other than perhaps no one recommended it or gave it to me). This make me sad now because I missed out on many years of enjoying Harriet and her story. It definitely holds up to the test of ...

I have read this again as an adult. The last couple times I was around Harriet's age. It is a lot different from what I remember, and I am highly influenced by what I remember in the movie as I've seen that several times in my adult years. I feel like it still holds up, but honestly maybe not a glow...

This book is very interesting and I enjoyed reading it as a reader. Harriet is one noisy character, but she is good at hiding it. She does says and write some not so quite friendly things about people. But, when the people she writes about found out about what Harriet writes, then the tables are tu...

I grew up watching the Harriet the Spy movie that was made by Nickelodeon and I loved that movie. I love all the morals and lessons it taught kids. I even loved how Harriet grew as a character. I especially loved how Harriet always loved to write. In fact, she inspired me to keep my own personal jou...

Harriet the Spy is a classic children's book.  It is a book that is best introduced around the 4th or 5th grade.  The main character, Harriet, keeps a journal where she writes down everything she is thinking!  This includes some not so very nice things about her friends, enemies, and anyone she happ...

2.5/5 Stars. I just can't get passed how obnoxious Harriet became in this story. I get it a classic coming of age story. But, she's spiteful and evil to her classmates even in the end. This is a book that could easily be shortened as the plot became repetitive after 100 pages. Harriet likes to wa...
