When her mom is put on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy, Harriet is sent to spend the summer at her grandmother’s bed and breakfast. Though stroppy about the change in plans at first, she soon becomes interested in exploring her surroundings, and finding the keyhole that fits the mysterious key she uncovers. Meh, I was not in the mood for this kid today. She’s realistically flawed, but I was just not there for the compulsive lying. The pacing also seemed off; draggy at first and then rushed at the end. Actual kids might like this more than I did. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: From the award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat comes a new young middle grade series in the tradition of Ramona and Clementine, starring an unforgettable girl named Harriet. There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She just finished third grade. She has a perfect cat named Matzo Ball. She doesn't always tell the truth. She is very happy to be spending summer vacation away from home and her mom and dad and all the wonderful things she had been planning all year.Okay, maybe that last one isn't entirely the truth. Of course, there's nothing Harriet doesn't like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn't love Moneypenny, Nanu's old basset hound. But Harriet doesn't like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives on Marble Island, however, she discovers that it's full of surprises, and even a mystery. One that seems to involve her Dad, back when he was a young boy living on Marble Island. One that Harriet is absolutely going to solve. And that's the truth. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Harriet is justifiably upset about this change in plans, equal parts mad and sad - but mad is easier. Crabby Harriet doesn't always treat those around her with kindness, and she sometimes lies, but she becomes intrigued by a key she finds cleaning out her Nanu's shed, and is determined to find out what it opens.
A story of acceptance, curiosity, and growth, with a flawed but lovable protagonist, an interesting setting (Marble Island is off the coast of California), and a minor subplot about birds and how one of their major predators is housecats.
Quotes
I don't understand; weren't grown-ups kids, before they were grown-ups? Do they all get, like, grown-up amnesia or something? (4)
A key that doesn't have a lock to open is a pretty sad thing, if you ask me. (138)
It seemed that every mystery I solved led to even bigger mysteries. (163)
"...sometimes, a key fits more than one lock." (Mable Marble, 186)
Why is it sometimes so much easier to say things that aren't true than to say things that are true, that are the most true? (191)
None of this was what I thought my summer would be like.....Yet here I was.
I could be mad about it. Or maybe I could be curious instead. (195) ( )
