Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh
3.0

I read this book for the first time as an adult for my book club. We read a children's book in December to save time during a busy month. I'm pretty sure the 11 year old protagonist Harriet is a child sociopath. She's an interesting character but it's an unusual approach to a children's book. Even in the end, she doesn't seem to have learned her lesson since she is still invading people's privacy and humiliating them without pause for their feelings.
