Liar & Spy by Rebecca Stead

4.0

I really wanted to read this one when it first came out, but I ended up reading When You Reach Me first. I think that Liar & Spy was my favorite of the two. It reminded me of Harriet the Spy, one of my favorites. The setting, but not the story, of When You Reach Me also reminded me of Harriet the Spy’s New York, so I wonder if the author was influenced by that book. I liked the lighter tone and the quirky characters of Liar & Spy. This one had a twist, but it was a more realistic twist than her first book. I loved it. Even if you didn’t like When You Reach Me very much, try this one.
