Harriet M. Welsch has just received the best news of her eleventh year—Ole Golly is coming back! Harriet can still remember how sad she was when her beloved nanny married George Waldenstein and moved away. But the circumstances of Ole Golly’s return remain unclear. Where is George Waldenstein?

With Mr. and Mrs. Welsch living in France for three months, Sport confiding that he has a crush on a girl at school, and the arrival of a mysterious new neighbor, who’s going to require a whole lot of spying, Harriet already has her hands full. Then she overhears Ole Golly saying she’s innocent—but innocent of what? Harriet the Spy is on the case and ready to help Ole Golly in any way she can.

Well I read this story around the same time I read "Harrie the spy", because it was a 2 stories in 1 book. My mum read this book to me when I was younger and then I read by myself a bit later, but this book had a big influence on me and I loved the whole idea of Harriet's "Spy routes" and it inspired me to start writing my own journal, which I continue to do until this day. Now I can't remember to much about this book, as I was quite young but I do remember that I really enjoyed the story and Harriet's character and I can still remember certain bits about it. I should definitely read it again sometime when I'm older and see if it speaks to me in a different way and maybe bring back some memories. Thumbs up from me and I'd definitely recommend.

Nothing at all like the "real" Harriet...and that's a shame. I don't think she would have acted like this at all. It's very hard to capture the original character, no matter how much you may have loved her when you were growing up. Otherwise, it was a pleasant little read, if you can ignore your preconceived notions.

If you're going to continue a well-known pair of books, you should at least have a decent sense of the characters. Unfortunately Ms. Ericson did not, and does quite a disservice to the childhood memories of a lot of book loving girls, especially this one. Reread Harriet the Spy, but give this pale imitation a pass.

This sequel t0 Harriet the Spy, was written by someone else and is nowhere near as good as the original. It was not anywhere near as interesting and was a struggle to finish.

This is a dreadful sequel. Readers need to realize that the author of the classic Harriet the Spy did not have anything to do with the writing of this book. It was approved by the late author’s estate.

None of it has the spark, wit and energy of the original.

New characters like “Rosarito Sauvage” are infuriating and obnoxious.

Great existing characters like Harriet, Ole Golly and Sport seem nothing like previous books.

Odd contemporary mentions of things like “Fine Point Sharpies” seem ridiculously out of the timeline of the original novel.

Reread the original Fitzhugh book. You’ll be far better off than wasting time on this “fan fiction” poor imitation of the original.

I was a disappointed. I've always liked Harriet, and I'd read that this sequel by a different author did justice to the original. I'm not sure I found that to be true. I listened to the first Harriet recently, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The audio for this sequel was read by the same person, but I felt like it was done a bit differently, even different voices for the same characters. Harriet had definitely grown up a bit, expected and maybe necessary, but I missed the Harriet I know, the one who had to learn that you have to figure out how to get along with everyone. Harriet is missing many of the qualities I loved, and I missed the observations of her school mates and neighbors in her notebook. Ole Golly, well, Ole Golly just wasn't herself at all, and I am not sure she should have been included here. Her character was totally different, not nearly as strong, and their relationship isn't at all the same. Maybe hoping for more of the same was an unattainable goal.

This book was ok. The first 100 pages were not all that great and I decided to stop because I could not go any further. I don't really recommend this to someone who loves to get sucked into books. The only part I read was a dragged on story of how Harriet spied on a couple of people. The only part I did like was when Harriet got stuck in the house and met another girl and they became friends but that was it. All of it pretty boring.
