		Harriet knows the first rule of spying, "Spies--should not get caught." But one fateful day, while she is distracted, her classmates find, and read, her spy notebook.
		Harriet writes, "That was a scene I am glad I saw, because I would have guessed that Mama Dei Santi would have bopped him over the head but when she saw the children she burst into tears and commenced wailing and giving the kids everything in sight....

		Harriet M. Welsch is an 11-year-old girl who spends her days going to school, playing with friends, and spying on strangers.
		As a result, Harriet is one of the most fully realized, authentic characters to appear in print--certainly one of the first such characters to appear in a book written for children.
		HARRIET THE SPY (1964) marked the beginning of modern realistic fiction for children, as its main character, 11-year-old Harriet M. Welsh, is considerably more cynical and less intellectually innocent than characters previously found in children's books.

		"Harriet, The Spy" is a movie for kids that grownups can sit through without even being chloroformed.
		Harriet, for the uninitiated, is the heroine of Louise Fitzhugh's classic 1964 novel about a sixth grade girl who scrutinises the people around her and records her observations in her daily journal.
		Still, her enthusiasm and affection for the characters are obvious and she couldn't have chosen a more winning Harriet than Trachtenberg.

		Although Harriet certainly does write up a storm, although she does see a great deal, although clearly she tells straight truths about matters regarding which adults would be more circumspect--although all that's true--nonetheless, the voluminous writings are, in every way, childish.
		Were Harriet merely a truth-telling Demosthenes, an infant philosopher, a wise child, the book would lack entirely the dimension of Harriet's own shortcomings and her downright disagreeableness.
		Harriet looks at them and tries truly to focus on someone else, she empathizes, she thinks how they feel.

	"Harriet the Spy" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Harriet M. Welsch is an 11-year-old spy want-to-be.
		She is only in the sixth grade but she's already an ace: very little happens in her neighborhood without Harriet seeing it and writing it down in her secret "Private" notebooks.
		She wants to see everything and know everything and so (as she writes in her spy book) "That is why I am a spy!" Guided by her friend/mentor/nanny, Golly (Rosie O'Donnell) she's learning a lot about life, and a lot about her neighbors, in hopes of someday being a famous author.

		Within these pages is everything Harriet has observed as she keeps an eye on each of her friends.
		The problem is that Harriet records facts and opinions, so when she accidentally leaves her notebook where her classmates can find it, her innermost thoughts are exposed, and Harriet is shunned by everyone.
		In other regards, Harriet may provide an accurate view of life as seen by a sixth grader, and should be of interest to most viewers over the age of ten.

		Thirty-two years before it was made into a movie, Harriet the Spy was a groundbreaking book: its unflinchingly honest portrayal of childhood problems and emotions changed children's literature forever.
		The fascinating story is about an intensely curious and intelligent girl, who literally spies on people and writes about them in her secret notebook, trying to make sense of life's absurdities.
		Fitzhugh's writing is astonishingly vivid, real and engaging, and Harriet, by no means a typical, loveable heroine, is one of literature's most unforgettable characters.
