Review of 'Harriet the Spy' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

read for the shelf discovery challenge, i choose to re-read this one because i remembered how mortified i felt when harriet not only has her notebook read by her classmates, but that she never gets in back. this time around i was impressed with harriet's perseverance and courage. i could never have faced those taunts like she did. i like how practical her nanny was and really heard the line: tears never bring anything back.
