Summary: Great for children and adults
Review: I read this book as both a child and an adult and loved it both times. I just hope that when I have children this book is still around. I know that my copy will be.

Summary: Base, so what?
Review: Harriet might be a base, spoiled girl, I don't know. The great thing about the book is that it's written from a spoiled girl's viewpoint. Not many books are like that. Lots of kids probably feel hatred and want to hurt people, just like Harriet does. They like her just because she's so bad.

Summary: You all love it. I despise it.
Review: This makes me an outcast, perhaps. But I absolutely loathe Harriet the Spy. No, not the book. The character. Harriet. The first time I read this book I ripped it to pieces and had to pay the library. This book is honest and groundbreaking and all that, perhaps. But I cannot stand it. It makes me want to throw up, but that's too passive. I did like that girl who wanted to blow up the world. But if I ever encounter Harriet on the street, there's going to be trouble. I don't understand why and how we are supposed to like this character, much less how and why so many people do. But I think she is the basest sort of person, and deserving of far, far more punishment than she gets. I have now written two reviews based on the main characters; both characters write in journals things which they would never speak. I love Mary Lou Finney (from "Absolutely Normal Chaos" by Sharon Creech). I despise Harriet. And, wow, it's great to get this all off my chest.

Summary: Thank You, Harriet
Review: I have read and re-read this book and it totally described my grade. Marion,Beth Ellen,Rachel and all the rest are like Lauren, Krista, Kate and the rest. Some people have gotten hold of my notebook but I read this book and it got me through it.So I would like to say - Thank you Harriet for getting me through the 5th grade. I hope she will get me through this year again since I'm in 6th. I would recommend this book to 10-14 year old.

Summary: Harriet The Spy
Review: I think the movie was a little better than the book but the movie didn't show everything from the book. I have read the book twice and I reccomend you to read the book before you watch the movie to see what was missed in the movie.

Summary: I wish I had read this as a kid
Review: I enjoyed HARRIET THE SPY, but I wish I had read it as a kid. Then, I might have become a spy myself. At least, I might have been more faithful in journal-writing. But now, what I really want to know about Harriet the Spy, is: what is her recipe for tomato sandwiches? I have tried a few tomato sandwiches myself -- and I must confess, I was slightly disappointed. However, I am willing to give tomato sandwiches another go. After all, our garden is bursting with green tomatoes -- what will I do with them all when they ripen

Summary: IT was a Mysterious And Exciting Book
Review: It was a really good book I read it twice. If you like mysterious books I encourage you to read Harriet the spy. And if you don't try reading the front page and see. And remember don't judge the book by its covers

Summary: a well-written view of a young person's world
Review: This is a superb children's book, and a great read for children at heart as well. When I was Harriet's age I would read this book and marvel at how real the characters were, and how her world seemed the same and yet different from my own. Harriet's world is fascinating, detailed, somewhat skewed, and slightly confusing to her, but always entertaining. Fitzhugh's characterizations of Harriet and Ole Golly are particularly unique and engaging, as well as those of Harriet's friends. *Harriet the Spy* deals with real and concerning aspects of growing up in an amusing and earnest manner, and is a wonderful piece of writing in addition. Fitzhugh's related books, *Sport* and *The Long Secret*, which both focus on some of Harriet's friends, are similar enjoyable reads. It is well worth buying, to loan to friends, to read to children, and to reread again and again

Summary: Turned on by the movie, I reread the book .
Review: What better way to seek refuge from society than in pen and paper? It is a secret all great writers know and one that can't be learned early enough. Harriet's pencil and notebook are her constant companions in a chaotic and sometimes cruel world. Her observations about people and life around her are poignant, insightful and at times, as hurtful as the world she writes about. Growing up is often difficult. Maintaining your individuality while learning to co-exist with others can be even harder. But through thick and thin, the notebook remains, a refuge for any girl growing up and trying to find her place in the world. I look forward to reading the sequel, The Long Secret
