Kids say this book is both enjoyable and thought-provoking, making it a fun read for children around the ages of 9 to 11, but some reviewers express concerns over its themes of bullying, mean-spirited behavior, and inappropriate language, suggesting that parental guidance is necessary. While Harriet is seen as a relatable character, her actions—such as spying and writing hurtful notes—may not serve as the best example for young readers.
