Could the only way to make amends and find happiness be through her writing? When Harriet learns that Ole Golly is no longer going to be her nanny her life begins to turn upside down-especially when she loses her notebook during a game of tag at school and her classmates find it and discover all of the truthful, matter-of-fact awful things she has written about them. Encouraged by her nanny, Ole Golly, to observe people and write about what she sees to master her writing skills, Harriet follows an afternoon “spy-route” and writes down everything she notices about her friends, neighbors, and classmates in a secret notebook. She is a precocious and incredibly curious eleven-year-old that aspires to be a writer. What to expect: Reality Fiction, Friendships, HumorĪs the title suggests, Harriet M.
