I like this book, but sometimes Harriet is a little nosy, and kind of moody. I think anyone 10 and up will be able to understand why, and not to act that way yourself. Besides, who wouldn't be angry if someone read their journal?
I think Ole'Golly is a positive romodle in this story. she always looks on the bright side of things, and is very smart.
THE BOOK WAS AN INTERESTING BOOK TO BE. I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY CREATIVE HOW THEY BUT A NOT BOOK INTO A CHAPTER BOOK. WE HAVE TO READ AR BOOKS AT MI SCHOOL SO I DECIDED TO GET HARRIET THE SPY BECAUSE WHEN I READ THE BACK OF THE BOOK IT SOUNDED INTERESTING.I GOT 7 OUT OF 10 QUESTIONS RIGHT. THE BOOK IS ABOUT HOW A GIRL HAS A PRIVET NOTEBOOK AND SHE WRITES ALL HER THOUGHTS DOWN ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN HER FRIENDS. THEN ONE DAY HER FRIENDS GET A HOLD OF THE BOOK AND THEY ONLY READ THE THINGS THAT HARRIET WROTE ABOUT THEM THEN THEY WERE ALL MAD A HARRIET, THEN ONE DAY HARRIET HAS A TALK WITH HER FRIENDS THEN THEY ALL JUST BECOME FRIENDS AGAIN YOU HAVE TO READ THE BOOK IT IS TOO GOOD TO ME.
I read this book when I was about 9 or 10. I loved it. I identified with the character. I understand parent's concerns with the book, but kids can understand and judge much more than we give them credit for.
