Book Review: changed my life
Summary: 5 Stars
This book changed my life, before i read it i wanted to be a artist. Now i want to be a writer. Harriet is the perfect role model for young girls who want to be writers when they grow up. After i read it i started to keep a notebook too and spy. When i finished the book i cried, i wanted it to go on and on. For some people they dont bother with this book but it is worth a try because it gave me a whole new perspective on life. i am re-reading it over and over and i know i will continue to cherish it.Everyday i try to be like harriet. I have even decided that when i become a writer i will have harriet as my pen name.Like i said, it has changed my life.Book Review: First read it at 12, still love it at 42

Harriet the Spy is an old friend who I come back to even now, so many years later. Harriet helped shape my world. She wanted to be a writer, so did I (and I might add, I succeeded, and I hope that she did too, wherever the "grown up" Harriet might be in literature land). She felt estranged from her classmates, so did I. Harriet and her perceptions on life taught me that it was okay to question what I saw around me, that it was okay to look at life differently. I'll always thank Louise Fitzhugh for writing a book that changed my life in so many ways, and that still holds up as a wonderful, funny and poignant story years after the fact.Book Review: Good Spies Are Never Supposed to be Caught
Summary: 4 Stars
Harriet M. Welsh has always wanted to be a spy. She writes everything she knows about everyone in her notebook. One day one of her classmates finds Harriet's notebook and reads it out loud. Everyone is upset that she wrote blunt yet mean things about them, and nobody will talk to her or sit near her at lunch or in class. When her beloved nurse moves out, Harriet, who normally is a perfect student, starts doing mean things to her classmates. When she apologizes people eventually accept her. Louise Fitzhugh adds funny characters, great ideas, and real things you can relate to, making Harriet the Spy a great book that should not be missed.Book Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this book in the 3rd grade after one of my teachers bought it for me. After that I pretty much forgot about it until I remembered a lovely, absurd little quote from the book: namely, where Harriet screams, "I want to know everything, everything!" I reread the entire novel and I was blown away by every aspect of it; its realism, its lack of ornamentation, and its truly memorable characters. Recently I've been finding that I have the dearest memories of books I read as children, and this is an example of one of the best children's books out there. Even if you're an adult, you will be amazed by Harriet the Spy.Book Review: Greatest book of all !!

Harriet the Spy is an 11 year old girl who keeps painful but true notes in her notebook. Soon her notebook falls into the wrong hands and everyone in her class, even her two best friends, are against her. Then she must pay them back, but is revenge the answer? Or will she give up her notebook? And will put her life right side up? Harriet the Spy is a great book with adventure, comedy and friendship. This is a book you can't put down, you have to keep on reading. But this book also shows you that revenge only causes more trouble.
