The writing had me turning pages. But like another classic- E.B. White's Stuart Little- it felt unresolved. I didn't see any growth in Harriet. She is rude and obnoxious, which I guess is realistic, but her observations don't equate to truth. Towards the end, I was expecting a breakdown in the style of Stephen King's Carrie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-50946990357095908812014-04-01T19:57:32.626-07:002014-04-01T19:57:32.626-07:00Hi there Michele, you have so many wonderful books...Hi there Michele, you have so many wonderful books here. Very interesting to read your take on Harriet the Spy, I remember reading it a few years back and enjoying how spunky the character is. My daughter read it last year I think and she enjoyed it thoroughly too. I wonder what a re-read would bring to my reading experience of the novel. Firefly July caught my eye as I am a huge fan of Janeczko. So many great things here!GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-77750480488604211892014-03-31T22:52:39.016-07:002014-03-31T22:52:39.016-07:00Like everyone I don't know where to start. So ...Like everyone I don't know where to start. So without peeking back, I'm going to choose three titles to comment on. 1. LOVED Every Day After - so pleased that you did as well. Well done historical fiction is a treasure. 2. Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa! I have all 6 titles in my room. I have kids that adore these books! 3. I am very excited to read this Shannon Hale book. I am a big fan of hers. Okay and one more comment - enjoy Rump! Loved reading this aloud to my class!Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-68126704359852161272014-03-31T18:25:06.736-07:002014-03-31T18:25:06.736-07:00So much goodness on this post!

(I'm definitely leaving your post open to do some searches at my library to read more.) <br />I'm going to read Like Carrot Juice on a Cupcake soon--I love that series. <br />I've never read Harriet the Spy. That must be fixed. <br />Thank you for linking up and happy reading this week! :) <br />Kellee Moye (@kelleemoye)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11912740016918990989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-85276046328863542542014-03-31T16:52:29.000-07:002014-03-31T16:52:29.000-07:00It's crazy how many books we have to read and ...It's crazy how many books we have to read and so little time.

I reread it last year and was appalled by how cruel Harriet is. I didn't remember that AT ALL from reading it as a child! I felt like Fitzhugh was really pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable from children and in a children's book--a much more disturbing and interesting book than I had given it credit for being. I have a long commute to work and love listening to audiobooks, especially ones I know I need to read but can't quite get into. I just bought The scraps Book this week--planning to share a few books by Ehlert with my kids and then read the new one. I love books about becoming writers and artists. I love Julie Sternberg's series about Eleanor. Will have to purchase the new one. I don't understand the appeal of the Amanda Pig books. Not my favorites. Cynthia Rylant, on the other hand, can do no wrong in my book! The Geisel challenge is a fun one--I'm going to try to read the titles I haven't read yet.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185908392196878158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-75959026258328845722014-03-31T09:08:03.159-07:002014-03-31T09:08:03.159-07:00I thought Rump was very cute, but I LOVE The Hero&...I thought Rump was very cute, but I LOVE The Hero's Guide series even more. Audio can take some getting used to, but I find that CDs in the car make driving so much nicer and a Playaway keeps me and the dogs moving.
