Comment On Regarding Books Sport (Harriet the Spy #3)
Don't you understand that I was once fifteen years old! That I looked at my mother the same way you're looking at me? That I see the hatred in your eyes and the despair and the love and all of it?I'm eleven, said Sport.Those opening lines set the tone of the relationship between Sport and his mother. And how many times will you see the word goddamned in a children's book? That took me by surprise, especially coming out of a mother's mouth to her little boy. Throughout the entire book, Sport's

I loved Harriet the Spy when I was a kid and liked the sequel, The Long Secret. I recently read an article in which the Louise Fitzhugh was discussed and it made me want to reread the books. Sport is another sequel published posthumously many years after the first books and many years after I stopped reading childrens books so Id missed it. Unfortunately Sport is not nearly of the same quality as the earlier books and Sport, the character, has been changed in subtle and unsatisfying ways. In

4.5 stars I've never liked this book quite as much as the first two Harriet the Spy books, but I love it nonetheless. Like the previous books, it seems to be commenting a lot on materialism, loneliness, and the importance of friends and family.

I understand the publisher rejected this book, sending it back to Fitzhugh with substantial changes; she put it aside, and there it sat until she died. Published after her death to cash in on Harriet's popularity; the original decision not to publish was correct. Harriet makes a couple of cameo appearances (one with Janie), but otherwise has no part in the story at all.



Harriet the Spy was a childhood favorite.

I loved all the "Harriet the Spy" books when I was ages 11-12. I know I read this in April 1985 because I mentioned it in my journal from that time.
