June 21, 2007: Keeping notes of everyone in her diary, Harriet's notions of her friends become known and they dislike her. She then tries to do good so they'll like her once more. Shows children that great ambitions at the cost of others isn't the way to go.

May 01, 2007: I got this book from the public library and was stuck to it. I like Harriet's movies but I personally think that the book makes a better picture in your mind and is also more detailed. I recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries and spying. It is really interesting and funny.

What Parents Need to Know
About Harriet the Spy
Parents need to know that, even though she's the undeniable heroine of this classic children's novel, Harriet isn't the world's best role model. She's nosey, she thinks a lot of unkind thoughts, and she's also sneaky, stubborn, and self-absorbed. But those negative qualities only serve to make her more real and, ultimately, lovable.
Families Can Talk About
Families can talk about the benefits of recording your thoughts and observations about the world around you in a journal that's meant for your eyes only. Are there things you'd write down on paper privately that you'd never say in public? If someone did happen to find your notebook and read it, would there be things in it that might hurt other people? How would you explain your actions?
