Harriet spies on people, this gets her into trouble.
review:
This story is perfect for your pre-middle school child. It teaches the important lesson - don't write down anything you wouldn't want to say to your friends face. It is written in easily understood language but still well written, enjoyable for adults and children alike. It is very clear on the perils of eaves dropping and being two faced. I enjoyed reading this when I was a child.
8/10
“Little lies that make people feel better are not bad, like thanking someone for a meal they made even if you hated it, or telling a sick person they look better when they don't, or someone with a hideous new hat that it's lovely. But to yourself you must tell the truth”
“[Harriet] hated math. She hated math with every bone in her body. She spent so much time hating it that she never had time to do it.”
“Don't mess with anybody on a Monday. It's a bad, bad day.”
