INQUIRY
Fitzhugh, Harriet the Spy;
We have a flawed main charachter who goes back and forth from being the bully to being the victim of bullying.
I was a huge Nancy Drew fan as a child, they were my favorite books (along with the Boxcar children.) I liked Harriet the Spy too but she was very different from Nancy. Nancy Drew was a polite and demure spy where Harriet is brash and snarky.
Harriet’s parents are harsh and disconnected. This makes her lonely and isolated. She finds solace in being inquisitive. She is encouraged to write down observations
I remember being inspired to keep a little field notes journal nearby as a kid. It maybe didn’t last very long but it worked for a bit.
