Harriet the Spy
by Louise Fitzhugh
I vaguely remember reading and liking this book as a child.
Harriet is eleven. Her wealthy parents leave her in the care of a nanny, until the nanny retires to get married. At that point Harriet penchant for spying on others, especially her classmates and writing brutally unkind things in her journal comes out. The classmates get angry, Harriet becomes angry, defensive, and then depressed. Harriet's parents finally check in and start parenting.
I really don't like Harriet anymore. And I don't like her parents either. In fact I didn't like any of the characters.
Funny how your feelings and perspective changes on somethings as you mature.
