title: Harriet the Spy, Double Agent (Harriet the Spy Adventures)
author:  Louise Fitzhugh 
description: Grade 5-8Harriet's new neighbor, Annie Smith, has moved to New York City to live with her aunt and uncle. When Harriet befriends her, she discovers that there is more to the girl than meets the eye, including her persona as new classmate Cassandra D'Amore. She also learns that Annie is hiding a lot of secrets. By making her a partner in her spy escapades, Harriet hopes to learn more about this unique person. All she knows is that Annie comes from Boston, is well read, and that she is in love with an older man. Frustrated, Harriet becomes a double agent and spies on her own colleague. She discovers that Annie has been lying about her life, which leads to an explosive climax. The characters lack spark and personality, and the plot is slow and repetitive. Except for the protagonist's familiar name, there's not much to interest readers here.<i>Amanda Conover Le, St. Johns County Public Library System, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
