22 - Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh

A Novel Adaptation

Spying, notebooks, tomatoes and mayo sandwiches, and your childhood. We are covering the coming of age, childhood icon, Harriet M. Welsh: aspiring writer and spy. She wants to see the world and know everything. Harriet is our feminist idol, no matter how outdated the book seemed to be at times.
