I didn't read Harriet the Spy until I was a middle-aged librarian. By that time, the terror of stalking in real life ruined my ability to appreciate an 11-year-old gossip. After reading the tagged book, I feel like rereading HTS. Fitzhugh's short, complicated life and its place in American culture and time changes how I'll perceive Harriet. I hope a mg edition will be released. It would be a great addition to #LGBTQ kidlit.
