Mmmm... It's been a while since a middle grade book has left me with such conflicting feelings. I completely understand Harriet's need to explore her world and write everything down, but at the same time it was a little difficult to really connect with her. Something tells me 6th grade me would not have liked Harriet, curiosity might not be my best characteristic, but boundaries were and still are important. But Harriet learned about it in a very hard way, I would have been terrified.
