Continuing with my read of this series...a trip down memory lane. Quick read that stayed true to the original, even though it was written by a different author that had permission from the original author's estate to write the book. One left to go in the series.

This is my first experience with Harriet the spy and it's not a real positive one

I feel a certain loyalty to Harriet, since the original Harriet the Spy was one of my favorite books as a kid. I had my doubts about the two sequels, each written by different authors after Louis Fitzhugh's too-soon death, but both did a fairly good job of staying true to the spirit of Harriet.

Harriet Spies Again feels a little empty, as there is very little spying, note taking or interaction with Harriet's friends, and the whole Ole Golly reunion falls kind of flat. Also, it may have been less obvious what was going on with Ole Golly to a younger reader, but to me it was pretty predictable.

The other sequel, Harriet the Spy Double Agent, is a bit better than Spies Again, because Harriet is more her old note-taking self and spends more time talking to Sport, who himself is going through his own turmoil what with his dad's new wife, being in love, and sprouting a few facial hairs. Double Agent also hints (maybe as a tribute to Fitzhugh?) at Harriet's budding sexuality as she discovers and ruminates about her own feelings about Sport, Ole Golly, and her new intriguing friend and spy partner, Annie Smith, who has created three names and personalities for herself and has a few secrets of her own.

Missing from both books is Fitzhugh's wry wit, but these sequels are worth a read if, as a now-grown adult fan, you can ignore that feeling that you're visiting a ghost. It's nice, but leaves you feeling a tiny bit empty.

I really enjoyed this book. I couldnt put it down. I just feel like Maya gold didnt capture Harriets personality like Fitzhugh did.

I thought that this book was really good. Also by reading this book you can pick up some spy skills.

How Funny! I was adding W.E.B. Griffin spy books and this recommendation came up for Harriet The Spy!!!!!! Which I of course read - like 35 years ago!!!

Reading with Brooklyn, we decided that starting with Harriet the Spy itself might be a better idea, but this book moved right along, with mystery, intrigue, and a good amount of fun and things to ponder about life.

This book is about mysteries. In this book Harriet is not so sure that her friend is telling the truth so she begins to spy.

I don't think it was as mysterious as the first book Harriet the Spy which was written by Louise Fitzhugh. I read where they had been the reading of here it's the Spy the first edition because of the belief that it encouraged children to lie. But the nature of kids is to be in adults which term as lies foot to a child it's more Make-Believe. I read Harriet the Spy as a young girl and it really inspired me to write and to be authentic. Fact is Harriet is growing older so the story fits as it describes Harriet and she is maturing and making friends.

This book was horrid, nothing really happens, and Harriet has no problem spying on her 'friends' and distrusting them. I couldn't figure out where the 'double agent' came in, until I realized that it was her spying on her friend. Not a good read. A waste of time. Don't bother with it. Read something else, anything else. The only good thing that I can say about it, is that it took me less than two hours to read.

i liked it .

Nothing compared to what Louise Fitzhugh would have written...but I suppose it's cute for what it is.
