Book Reviews of Harriet the Spy, Double Agent (Harriet the Spy Adventures (Dell Yearling Book))
Book Review: A Review for Adults Who Like Kids' Lit
Summary: 3 Stars
Having been a fan of Harriet since I was sent away to Girl Scout camp at age 9 the year it was first published, I was apprehensive about reading Helen Ericson's follow-on, "Harriet Spies Again." But it was all right. Now I read this book, Maya Gold's "Harriet the Spy, Double Agent."
This time we not only have someone taking Louise Fitzhugh's original vision and extending it, but Ms. Gold also takes Ms. Ericson's work and incorporates that into this book. The result of this is that we have Harriet spending a lot of time with Annie Smith, the "new girl" introduced in Ms. Ericson's book. At the outset of this book I was 100% convinced that it was going to be a story about not neglecting your old friends (Janie & Sport) in favor of new ones (Annie), especially when Janie makes a pointed comment to that effect. But although Sport appears periodically and doesn't really have much to do with the story, Janie is brushed off with some references to her newfound love of boy bands, something Harriet can't relate to, and the entire rest of the book concerns Harriet and Annie. This disappointed me, since the trio of Harriet, Sport & Janie is still my favorite friend grouping from this series.
Anyway, I read this on the beach after finishing a reread of the original "Harriet the Spy" and while it was an OK beach read and did have some overtones of the Harriet we all love, I felt that more thought could have been put into it to make it a little richer. Basically Harriet's spying gets her into trouble again with a friend, and she goes through what she did in the first book. Basically.
So, if you are a fanatic to finish series, and you love Harriet, get this book from the library.
