Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh

3.0

---

This is one of those books that I should have read as a child and would have read as a child had I not been turned off by reading from all the horrible books I had to read at school. That being said, if I was forced to read this book in school I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it then, either. But I read it first as an adult and I liked it as an adult but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Harriet is a very interesting character- very naughty and very nosy. Very rude. But her home life left a lot to be desired so I guess I can kind of sympathize with her. So despite all that I still liked her because she was interesting and precocious so I also liked the story about her.
