I picked this book up a few years after reading the first one, and had no idea this was by a different author. But it didn't read any differently because I was young, and damn, I loved it. I thought that was the end of the series, and was saddened, but now I realize that this is the first of a series? Wow. I guess I have to revisit my childhood?

Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh ,is one of my all time favorite books. In this companion novel, Helen Ericson does a good job of channeling Harriet's personality and the overall feel of the original. However, I didn't particularly like that Ole Golly came back in this book... the other book had ended with Harriet growing up and realizing that she didn't need Ole Golly anymore. There's a bit of a mystery surrounding her return that kept me reading, but overall I wasn't amazed by the conclusion.

This book is about Harriet spying on her nanny Ole Golly when she returns after being married. Harriet wonders why she has returned without her husband, so she decides to get more information on this mystery. Unexpectedly, everything she has thought, is turned around in a huge surprise.

Still a good book, but I didn't like the style of this new author as much as the original author.

I loved this series growing up. I haven't seen the movie, didn't really want to in case they ruined my perception of Harriet and Sport!

This book is nowhere near as good as its predecessor, but what is? Harriet's parents have gone to Paris, and Ole Golly has returned to take care of Harriet for the duration. But Ole Golly has a big secret and Harriet has to spy until she finds out what it is.

I truly enjoyed this one. I liked it better than the first one. I didn't want it to end, it was so fun

❤️❤️❤️ Harriet the Spy. Will definitely be reading more of these babies. ..... so FUN!!

Let's just say this crapped all over my childhood. Regardless of good intent, Harriet is not Harriet and Ole Golly is not Ole Golly and this is a farce. Harriet does not beg for hugs or talk about wanting to be a spy. She IS a spy. Ole Golly doesn't *discuss* greeting card sentiment. It is beneath her. She discusses literature, and without calling attention to it. Mr. Waldenstein would NEVER have consistently lied and gambled. Harriet would not have gotten dumber as she got older. Come on, people.

If you liked this book, you clearly did not read the original. You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm sorry, you are wrong.

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.

Hariet is back in a new novel! Ole Golly has returned, but isn't quite herself. Harriet is on the case! (amazon review)

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.
