Harriet M. Welsch is determined to grow up and be a famous author. In the meantime, she practices by following a regular spy route each day and writing down everything she sees in her secret notebook.

Then one morning, Harriet's life is turned upside down. Her classmates find her spy notebook and read it out loud! in big trouble. The other sixth-graders stealing her tomato sandwiches, forming a spy-catcher club, and writing notes of their own---all about Harriet! --back cover

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.
