Write Up Out Of Books Sport (Harriet the Spy #3)

Harriet the Spy was a childhood favorite.

4.5 stars I've never liked this book quite as much as the first two Harriet the Spy books, but I love it nonetheless. Like the previous books, it seems to be commenting a lot on materialism, loneliness, and the importance of friends and family. Louise Fitzhugh writes with so much warmth, emotion, and humor that it's easy to connect to the main characters and sympathize with them. Even though much of the book consists of Sport feeling lonely, out of place, and over his head, this only makes him

I think I started Sport in fifth grade because I loved Harriet the Spy so much but was turned off by the first chapter, where Sport's cartoonish rich mother is interacting with him. She is over the top and reminiscent of Beth Ellen's mother in The Long Secret. So now I decided to read it as an adult and give it more of a chance, and it was an interesting book with the same feel of the others. Sport's mothers mindless pursuit of money and kidnapping her son is a little ridiculous, but I was

Don't you understand that I was once fifteen years old! That I looked at my mother the same way you're looking at me? That I see the hatred in your eyes and the despair and the love and all of it?I'm eleven, said Sport.Those opening lines set the tone of the relationship between Sport and his mother. And how many times will you see the word goddamned in a children's book? That took me by surprise, especially coming out of a mother's mouth to her little boy. Throughout the entire book, Sport's

Sport is my favorite character in Harriet the Spy so I was excited to learn that Fitzhugh wrote a book about him. The flavorless text on the back flap says, "Young readers will remember [Sport] as the kid who lived with his father, ran the house, and managed the money." Old readers, like me, remember him too.Sadly, this book is just as flavorless as its blurb. Sport lacks the zing of Harriet and its follow-up, The Long Secret. Harriet the Spy has a pretty loose plot. For about 2/3 of the book,

Everybody says this book is the worst of the Harriet books, worse even than The Long Secret, although I couldn't imagine how that could be so since, in Harriet the Spy, I love Sport and I don't care about Beth Ellen. And I did enjoy this one well enough while reading it for the first time--it's fast-paced and Sport's internal monologue is very true to his Harriet the Spy characterization: slightly less witty and mean but more world-weary and random and the result is just as funny. But having

I was surprised at how much of this book I remembered. I must have read it 20 times as a kid. Sport is still a great character but the plot is definitely dated, unless you read it as a historical artifact of de-urbanization in the 1960s and 1970s. The filthy rich grandfather, the evil mother, the chauffeur, Butler, valet etc were so over the top. Oh, and the book uses the n-word twice. Its contextual and not gratuitous, but it was jarring.
