Investigations
I don't agree with the people who banned __Harriet the Spy__ because I thought it was an awesome book even though it had some very rude things that Harriet did. I also don't think it will influence kids to do the same thing as in the book because it's only a book and I don't think people are that rude to their friends. That is why I disagree with __//Harriet the Spy//__ being banned. By Ryan
 * What is the game bridge, and how is it played?
 * "Harriet the Spy" has been banned in the past? How is a book banned, and can it be reversed?

I sort of agree with the book being banned but it should only be banned for younger people. Like banning it from 2nd grade and lower schools not older kids. Older people develop a mature mind and better discernment so they know not to do these things. Even for the younger kids there is a lesson in the end, which tells them not to do these things. DAVE I do not agree that Harriet the spy should be banned because it was suppose to be for fifth grades and up not for any grade below. Also we should know the difference of what she does is wrong and not okay. by:Kane

I think that Harriet the Spy should not be banned from schools and libraries. I think that they shouldn’t banned this book from libraries because I think that kids are smart enough to realize not to do the king of stuff Harriet did to her friends in Harriet the Spy. Katherine Dalimonte

I don't agree with the people who banned Harriet the Spy because I thought it was an awesome book even though they had some very rude stuff, but I don't think it would influence kids to do the same thing. By Ryan

** Harriet the Spy **

** I think the banning of this book is ridiculous because it is a great book! It has a lot suspense, action, and description. I don’t think any kid would copy what happened in the book! I mean you shouldn’t have a 6-year old reading the book because it’s at a grade five level! I mean **** REALLY! **

I disagree about __Harriet the Spy__ being band. I disagree because there is nothing wrong with it. Most kids are smart enough to know that it is wrong what Harriet does and will not do any of that. That is why I disagree with __Harriet the Spy__ being band. By Nathan

Harriet the spy was banned? Yes, from some schools and libraries. The book was banned because Harriet did many mean things like cutting people’s hair and putting frogs in people’s desks. As long as you read the book at a reasonable age and make sure they know not to do the things she does. I think the book should not be banned from any schools. Rebecca B. Yes, I think that Harriet should be banned from school reading, as throughout the book, she did some illegal and rude things, such as going into ,Mrs. Plumber's house, which would be trespassing and children might think that doing these things is okay. By: Blake w. I think __Harriet the Spy__ shouldn’t have been banned because it taught you lessons about insulting people, being a good friend, and trespassing on peoples property even though it could have influenced kids in the past. I see where the schools were coming from when Harriet was using her method of payback and the Spy Catcher Club’s method of payback for Harriet writing insulting notes. By Brendan I don’t think that //Harriet The Spy// should banned from schools and libraries because in the book a kid could learn that writing mean things about people could hurt them and lose trust from their friends. Also, it could teach them that when you do mean things it can back fire and really hurt you instead, and then you’d feel guilty and feel like you don’t have any friends. Hannah I do not think //Harriet the Spy//should have been band from some school districts because I think it is a pretty good book and it teaches you and might help you through some real life lessons and situations as you get older like when Ole Golly says to Harriet that you have to lie to people sometimes to gain back all their trust and friendship. John J. Rogers I don’t agree with the people who banned “Harriet the Spy” because they didn’t see the lesson in it that you shouldn’t be mean, two wrongs don’t make a right, and don’t do mean things behind people’s backs especially your friends. That’s why they shouldn’t have banned “Harriet the Spy”.

by : Victoria S. I think that it was wrong to band Harriet because it was a creative book. I can see why they did band it because of the things she does and says. I think that if it went to a 2nd or 3rd grade classroom then I can see why they banned it. But I think that the older grades are responsible to understand that those things where wrong. mckenna g.

I would rate this book a five because I really like it and I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read this book.

Why because we both like the same kind of books and we have the same kind of taste I really like the end of the book the best because It is like a happily ever after

If I were to give this book a ratting from one to five, I would give it a four. I would give it a four because I liked it but it was not the best book I have ever read. I would recommend this book to so many people. I would recommend this book to so many people because it had so much humor, suspense, and many problems.

Katherine Harriet the Spy I would give the book Harriet the spy five out of five stars because it was REALLY good. It kept you in a lot of suspense and it was one of those books where you just cannot stop reading at any point. The book also funny in a lot of different ways because at a few points the story it shows you what she is writing like this, “Carrie Andrews is considerably fatter this year.” I would recommend this book to almost any one because anybody would like it. I would rate __Harriet the Spy__ four stars. I think four is the right amount because the book was really great. Other than all the mean stuff Harriet and her friends do to each other. Charlotte Rebecca B. On a scale from1-5, I would give this book a five. I would give it a five because I thought there was a lot of humor and it was very suspenseful.

** I would rate this book ** ** a 3 because it had had a lot of suspension, action, and description. I do not know if I would recommend this book to a friend. **

** By, Zach ** I read the book called __Harriet the Spy.__ I did not really like it. The only go part about it is the humor because it is a little funny. However, the only funny part when Harriet was writing or thinking about other people. On a scale from one to five, I would give it a two. In addition, I would not recommend this book to any one because I do not think anyone would like this book at all. That is what I think About __Harriet the Spy__. By Nathan

This is a review for Harriet the spy, if you would like to read the book, I think you can buy in stores or online. For Harriet the Spy on a scale on 1 to 5 I give it a 2 1/2 because it was a good book and I would recommend this to many people. Nevertheless, the reason that I did not give it a five star rating is because it was boring at times and it had no plot at the beginning. Harriet was going to school with her notebook and writing mean things about people and she does her spy routes as usual. Then, the suspension start that is when things get exciting, it was very exciting for me to read, and that is why it deserves a 2 1/2 rating.

I liked this book and I would recommend this book to people who like busy things because this has friendship, humor and more and it will keep you reading. By Toni Ramos
 * If I had to give this book a book review with a scale out of 1 to 5 stars I would give it four stars. I would give it four stars because it held you in a lot of suspense when you stopped reading. I really liked this book and would recommend this it to anyone who likes stories about friendship, a mystery, and some realistic fiction. I would also recommend this to people because there was also a lot of humor with things that Harriet does to her friends but they were also mean at the same time. **
