Harriet the spy

Harriet is an only child who lives in Massachusetts. She has a nursemaid called Old Golly. She does not like most of the people in her class, but she likes some of them, like Sport, who is a writer's son. She wants to be a journalist when she grows up, so she likes to spy on everybody to find out facts. Then old golly is fired for taking Harriet to a movie and staying out too late. Then Harriet leaves her journal lying around, and some people discover it and read it, then nobody likes her. All the kids in the school join a new club call the spy catchers club and they devise ways to get rid of Harriet. Harriet and her parents find ways to stop the spy catchers club from getting their revenge on her!

I rate this four out of ten. My favorite part was when the spy catchers club was made because I liked the illustrations in that part. What I liked about Harriet is that she was secretive yet very bold. I liked Old Golly because she was very kind to Harriet, and she took her to a movie even though she didn't like them. I felt kind of sad for Harriet when Old Golly got fired because Old Golly was her best friend, and sad for Old Golly because she lost her job. What I didn't like was everything else, especially when Harriet has to avoid everybody in school. I learned some spying techniques, and also that you shouldn't spy on your friends at school, because they might find out, and if they do, they'll probably avoid you because you'd know their most embarrassing secrets.
