Harriet the Spy

by Louise Fitzhugh

Harriet the Spy is about a girl, Harriet M. Welsch, who dreams about being a spy. She makes spy routes, she goes on little, “spy adventures” and she writes down everything she notices in her spy notebook. Everyday she spends a few minutes writing down what happened that day – who she likes or doesn’t like and so on.

One day while in the park her book ends up in the wrong hands and all of her friends and classmates sen the good and bad things she has written about them. Of course, all of her friends turn on her and the school year begins to fall apart, but can Harriet piece her friendships back together, or will her friends refuse to forgive her?

This is a wonderful story that will keep your nose in the book all day.

I relate to Harriet because I used to keep a diary myself.
