Before she can stop them, her friends have read the always truthful, sometimes awful things she’s written about each of them. Will Harriet find a way to put her life and her friendships back together?

"What the novel showed me as a child is that words have the power to hurt, but they can also heal, and that it’s much better in the long run to use this power for good than for evil."—New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot©1964 Louise Fitzhugh;©1992 Lois Anne Morhead; (P)2000 Listening Library, Inc.

"Finding Harriet as a young writer in the mid 1960s was inspiring. It meant I wasn’t the only one who wanted to tell stories about kids who were real."—JUDY BLUME

Harriet the spy review

I really enjoyed this book. Every night I would plead for my mom to let me listen to one more chapter!

Classic story (review has spoilers)

On the surface, it’s very fascinating story due to deep and fun descriptions of every one and the colorful characters. But as a healthcare provider, it’s actually very deep story of a child (spoiler alert) case study of being ostracized, and being the butt end of bullying. Overall, it’s a very deep book and one that promotes of behavior health.

:)

I absolutely love this book
It mad me smile
and cry that one time
Anyway I hope the person who finds this review!
Loves this book.

Classic book but weird chapter breaks in the audiobook

This book is a classic, but the audiobook chapter breaks don’t line up with the chapters of the book which is really annoying.
