It's
Teaser Tuesday time again. I am currently re-reading
Harriet the Spy by
Louise Fitzhugh, which was one of my favorite books when I was 8. This is one of two books I am reading in honor of
Banned Books Week, and it's even better than I remember! I'll probably have more to say about this book later in the week; but for now, the teaser:
Janie Gibbs was Harriet's best friend besides Sport. She had a chemistry set and planned one day to blow up the world (p. 29).
I think this particular quote gives a taste of Fitzhugh's writing style and her quirky characters, which are only part of what make
Harriet the Spy such a good read.

ReplyDeleteI've had this one on my TBR list for years now. I should go ahead and read it right now! Great teaser.
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing a lot of Teaser Tuesday posts lately. Sounds like a fun meme I may have to try out next week. Harriet the Spy is included on a banned books list? Insane!
ReplyDeletejlshall - I definitely recommend reading Harriet. I think I enjoyed it just as much as an adult as I did when i was a child.
ReplyDeleteRosemary - Yeah, I was surprised, too!
