Going through Bloglines today (over 3000 unread posts in my Books folder alone!!), I discovered this post on Kate's Book Blog about the children's book Harriet the Spy.
There is a link to an NPR audio "tribute" to the character of Harriet M. Welsch, child spy.
God, I loved Harriet when I was a kid! She was sarcastic, curious, and aspired to be a writer. So much fun spying on other people. This was one of my favorite books, I remember thinking about New York City and how much I, too, wanted to be a writer when I grew up. Harriet wasn't afraid to be herself, that is also what I remember liking about her character.
