First published by HarperCollinsUS in 1964, this classic children's
novel has sold over 4 million copies and was awarded the New York
Times Outstanding Book Award. Sixth-grader Harriet attends school
on the New York's Upper East Side along with her two best pals,
Sport and Janie. After school every day, she takes her notebook and
proceeds through her spy route. Harriet observes the rich lady who
never gets out of bed; the man with twenty-five cats and the
Italian family who runs a grocery store. She writes brutally honest
notes on them all. Harriet's downfall is that she also writes notes
about people she actually knows... After a game in the park when
her notebook is knocked out of her hands and read by her
classmates, Harriet's innermost thoughts are revealed and she is
shunned by all her classmates, who form the Spycatcher's Club.
After her parents find out what's happened, Harriet receives a
final, crushing blow. She is no longer allowed to take notes - her
parents, her teacher and even the cook search her every day for a
contraband notebook. Harriet's only consolation is the love and the
wise advice of her nanny who manages to get her through this
difficult period in her life. A classic in the US where it was
first published and a major motion film from Paramount, Harriet the
Spy is a beloved book throughout the world.
