Summary: what can I say? the best book that I've EVER read
Review: Harriet's world filled my lonely life with friends and laughter. I was never so happy than when I was reading this wonderful story, and continue to reread it often. Harriet provided my over-curious, precocious nature with a confidante and a kindred spirit. Fitzhugh's perfectly brilliant and canny take on the trials of adolescence remains timely and captivating, from her vivid descriptions of Sport and his father, the DeiSanti family, Little Joe Curry, and Mr. Waldenstein to her poignant portrayal of Harriet and Ole Golly's farewell scene. One of the best parts of the book is when Harriet and Ole Golly are reciting Lewis Carroll "...and why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings." I will continue to treasure and guard my copy of this book, and whenever I feel like I'm starting to "grow up", I read it, and of course, The Long Secret. The menstruation discussion between Janie, Beth Ellen and Harriet continues to make me laugh until I cry.

Summary: This book rules!!!
Review: "Harriet the Spy" is the best book I have ever read. I remember when I first read it. I was sitting in bed staring at a book cover I had never layed eyes on before and just started to read a book that was maybe a little to complecated for me but was determended to finish the 298 paged book. And after the first page, I couln't stop. I was hooked on Harriet the Spy. I never knew a Library book could be so interesting and so fun. So once I finished it, I read it again. I started to undertand that not only me felt so questionable all the time. And I learned how dumb and misunderstood her parents were. The only person that knew how harriet felt was Ole Golly. so finally I checked it out again and read it once more and decided I have to get this book! So I ordered a little paperback covered book and read it maybe 2 more times after that and here I am now, reading it again. I will ALWAYS have a book called Harriet the Spy!!! It RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: If you haven't read this since you were 11, read it again!
Review: Curled up in the back of my mom's Volkswagen for a long road trip in 1975, I read Harriet the Spy cover-to-cover, and like so many of us, I found in Harriet a friend I could trust. The adult world baffled me, but Harriet helped make sense of it. Everything she said was so clear and sensible. Obviously adults were just whack-o and the best approach was to lay low and watch. Above all, maintain a healthy suspicion and skeptisism about all grown-up plots against kids, such as psychiatrists and dancing lessons. Between the age of 11 and 14, I read the book 4 or 5 times. I picked it up again when I was 28 and, wow, what a different experience it was! I loved it just as much, but as an adult, I suddenly understood what all that adult weirdness was about! I'd lived it. In fact, I practically embodied it. I imagined the kinds of notes Harriet would make about me if she came to spy at my house. If you haven't read Harriet the Spy since you were a kid, read it again. It'll cast your life in a new light, and that may be a good thing.

Summary: girl keeps journal about peers, peers readand ostrisize her.
Review: I read first read this book when I was 10 yrs old, ( 25 yrs ago!) I loved it! I wanted to be Harriet *M Welch. ( note that the "M" does stand for anything. Ol Golly told Harriet that all good writers need a middle initial!). One of my favorites chapters is when Harriet, practicing to be a tomato in her school play, is rolling all over on the carpet. Harriet's friends, Sport, Janie, and even mousy Beth Hanson are memorable characters. When I learned that this book was to become a movie I deliberately DID NOT go see it, I didn't want the movie version to taint my fond memories of reading the book. A good follow up companion to Harriet The Spy is The Long Secret. The author focuses more on the budding friendship of Harriet M Welch and Beth Hanson. I didn't like The Long Secret quite as much but it is worth reading .

Summary: Best book in the universe!!!
Review: I recomend "Harriet the Spy to everyone. Especially to young writers.I am only 11 and that may seem like a young age to start to think about a career,but I have known that I wanted to be a writer since I was 4.Then when I was 9 last year in fourth grade,I saw the movie for the first time.Iloved every minute of it.Right then I knew that I wanted to be a spy.for almost 2 years I have carried around a spy notebook and Icontinue to want to untill I die hopefully.I think that Hariet inspires me the most with her daring attempts to go into a Private house.I may be brave but not that brave.Well for now I am consentrating on growing my hair long!

Summary: Best book of my childhood.
Review: "Harriet" was given to me by the author. I immersed myself in the book, and the well worn pages are a testiment to the many times I have read it. Harriet speaks the truth. She has the strong voice that I loved then, but even more now, of young girls who will not be kept down. Harriet and her friends defy stereotypes. I gave the book to my neices and nephews and took them to the movie. I even have the Harriet the Spy, spy kit. Guess my love for Harriet and Ole Golly is as timeless as the novel. Thanks Louise.
