Simon "Sport" Rocque, Harriet the Spy's best friend, undergoes dramatic life changes when his penniless novelist father re-marries and his enormously rich grandfather dies. His new-found wealth brings him into contact with his mother's family, whose attempts to control his life are frightening and clumsy. Despite a few improbable plot elements (such as the Plaza Hotel hiring junior high school-aged bellboys), this is an interesting story and a nice finish to the trilogy. ( )

"I'm eleven," said Sport. "I'll be twelve next month."
