Column About Books Sport (Harriet the Spy #3)

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 understand the publisher rejected this book, sending it back to Fitzhugh with substantial changes; she put it aside, and there it sat until she died. Published after her death to cash in on Harriet's popularity; the original decision not to publish was correct. Harriet makes a couple of cameo appearances (one with Janie), but otherwise has no part in the story at all.

Eleven year old Sport is living with his divorced father who has 50% custody, although Sport's mother is mostly out of the picture from traveling and not wanting to be around children. His mother is a distant and cold individual who is only interested in custody of Sport to get a higher inheritance from her father.It is really hard to comprehend how a mother can be so unloving and unkind to her own child. I suppose this does exist in the world. Sport is pretty much acting as a adult with heavy

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.

I read Harriet the Spy and The Long Secret in grade school and it was only a couple years ago that I discovered there was this other book, Sport. I was excited because I'd liked Sport in Harriet the Spy and was looking forward to reading more about him. Sport reminded me of myself because I was also the only child of a single parent and I took on a lot of worry and responsibility about money. But when I finally managed to lay hands on a copy, I was disappointed. Her writing wasn't nearly so

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,

Too short! I've always liked Sport, I wanted more.
