Εκδότης Harper Collins , ISBN 9780008726546
Foyles Notes
I was lucky enough to get a copy of this from America when I was young, and I found it absolutely thrilling - the idea of being a spy in New York seemed very exciting. Highly recommended for kids who enjoy Robin Stevens' (also brilliant) mystery stories.
Cressida Cowell, Foyles Literacy Ambassador
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.Sixth-grader Harriet attends school on the New York's Upper East Side along with her two best pals, Sport and Janie. After school every day, she takes her notebook and proceeds through her spy route. Harriet observes the rich lady who never gets out of bed; the man with twenty-five cats and the Italian family who runs a grocery store. She writes brutally honest notes on them all. Harriet's downfall is that she also writes notes about people she actually knows...After a game in the park when her notebook is knocked out of her hands and read by her classmates, Harriet's innermost thoughts are revealed and she is shunned by all her classmates, who form the Spycatcher's Club. After her parents find out what's happened, Harriet receives a final, crushing blow. She is no longer allowed to take notes - her parents, her teacher and even the cook search her every day for a contraband notebook.
