Book Reviews of The Long Secret (Harriet the Spy Adventures (Dell Yearling Book))Book Review: Horribly Disappointed! Summary: 1 Stars
Don't get me wrong, "Harriet the Spy," was one of my all time favorite books (and movies), growing up. I'm almost 26 now and had always wanted to read "The Long Secret," So after re-reading Harriet, I went to the bookstore and ordered myself a copy. Well, at first it wasn't so bad, but there really wasn't any real point to the story. Harriet hadn't matured much at all, and to make matters worse, really offensive and hostile notes were left all over the place. I am also a Christian and find it offensive that the phrase "Jesus Hates You," should be allowed to be published in a Children's book. This is especially true in this day and age, when almost any threat has the potential to turn violent.
Skip this one.
Book Review: Harriet in Summer Summary: 5 Stars
Harriet the Spy is growing up, still trying to observe people and connect the dots. She's usually in such a hurry that she misses information that's right in front of her. At her family's summer place in Long Island, she spends time with Beth Ellen. Beth Ellen's reintroduction to her mother is a central part of the story, as is one of the most frank and funny discussion about periods. Another wry, honest episode in the life of HTS.

I bought this and another Harriet the Spy books for my grandaughter.
She has told me that she likes them very much. She is 10 years old and loves mystery stories. These books were recommended by a friend.
