Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh

4.0

---

I was obsessed with the film version of Harriet the Spy as a kid -- I even had a composition book filled with observations from my own sleuthing shenanigans. So I figured it was time to read the book that started it all. Happily, Louise Fitzhugh's most famous work is just as charming and endearing as I remember. The story of Harriet M. Welsch -- tomato sandwich lover and aspiring writer whose own words come back to haunt her -- stands the test of time. 4 stars -- recommended!
