relf 's review for:
Harriet the Spy
by Louise Fitzhugh
I have read Harriet the Spy before, but as an adult, and probably before I had kids. I loved it then, but since listening to the audiobook with my granddaughter, I have downgraded to liking it very much. I love Harriet's spying and her writing, and her intelligence. I just have reservations about how very mean Harriet's spy notes and interactions with friends are, to the extent that I found the whole book rather negative. I know that kids can be mean, and there is a slight resolution at the very end, but the book doesn't really offer a good way through that thorny field. I wasn't looking for inspirational self-help advice, just something a little more positive. Still, witty and fun to listen to, and Harriet is a great character.
