I owe much of who I am today to Harriet the Spy (affiliate link). Not even kidding. I could write volumes on good old Harriet and I truly believe she contributed greatly to making me, me. She was a truly independent and precocious girl; interested and observant. After reading Harriet the Spy, I started my own spy notebooks and I even tried to play her game 'Town,' which really is like your own made-up version of The Sims before The Sims existed. I filled notebooks with my observations. I kept my own journals from the day I turned seven straight through college.
