Harriet M. Welsch is a spy. In her notebook, she writes down everything she knows about everyone, even her classmates and her best friends. Then Harriet loses track of her notebook, and it ends up in the wrong hands. Before she can stop them, her friends have read the always truthful, sometimes awful things she’s written about each of them. Will Harriet find a way to put her life and her friendships back together?

"What the novel showed me as a child is that words have the power to hurt, but they can also heal, and that it’s much better in the long run to use this power for good than for evil." (New York Times best-selling author Meg Cabot)

Critic reviews

"A tour de force, Harriet the Spy bursts with life." (School Library Journal)

"A brilliantly written, unsparingly realistic story, a superb portrait of an extraordinary child." (Chicago Tribune)

"Finding Harriet as a young writer in the mid 1960s was inspiring. It meant I wasn’t the only one who wanted to tell stories about kids who were real." (Judy Blume)

“I don’t know of a better novel...that made more readers of my generation want to become fiction writers. I love the story of Harriet so much I feel as if I lived it.” (Jonathan Franzen, author of Freedom and The Corrections)

Harriet the spy review

On the surface, it’s very fascinating story due to deep and fun descriptions of every one and the colorful characters. But as a healthcare provider, it’s actually very deep story of a child (spoiler alert) case study of being ostracized, and being the butt end of bullying. Overall, it’s a very deep book and one that promotes of behavior health.

Classic story (review has spoilers)

This book is a classic, but the audiobook chapter breaks don’t line up with the chapters of the book which is really annoying.

I read this when I was ten and just returned to it at 60. Just as wonderful now as it was then. Maybe even a little more wonderful.

Still wonderful

My 8 yr old boy loves this story. It inspired him to write down his thoughts—just hope his journal doesn’t fall into the wrong hands hahaha. He has replayed the story again.

Still a great story for young ones
