The Girls' Review of Harriet the Spy

All four kid book club members kind of recommend it. The moms had mixed feelings, but think it might be more appropriate for an older book club.

The girls had to say:

·      “Harriet writes mean things in her notebook sometimes. But she learns a good lesson – to be nicer to everybody and not be mean to her friends.”

·      “Harriet said mean things about Ole Golly’s mother.”
