First published by HarperCollinsUS in 1964, this classic children's novel has sold over 4 million copies and was awarded the New York Times Outstanding Book Award.

Six-year-old Harriet attends school on the East Coast of New York City with her two best friends, Sport and Janie. After school every day, she takes her notebook and follows her spy route. Harriet observes the rich lady who never leaves her bed, the man with twenty-five cats, and the Italian family that runs a grocery store. She writes brutally honest notes about them all. Harriet's downfall is that she also writes notes about people she knows...

After a game in the park when her notebook falls from her hands and is read by her classmates, Harriet's deeper thoughts are revealed and she becomes isolated from all her classmates, who form the Spy Club. After her parents discover what has happened, Harriet receives a final, crushing blow. She is no longer allowed to keep notes – her parents, her teacher, and even the cook check on her daily for an illegal notebook. Her only solace is the love and wise advice of her nanny, who helps her get through this difficult time in her life.

A classic book in America where it was first published and a major film from Paramount, Harriet the Spy is a beloved book around the world.
