If you are looking for a book with a unique main character who freely admits that she gets mad easily and lies when she shouldn't, JUST HARRIET is the perfect book. Harriet just finished 3rd grade and is hoping for a fun-filled summer with her friends and her cat Matzo Ball.
Unfortunately, her mother's pregnancy is not going as planned. The doctor has just ordered bedrest for the remaining few months. Harriet's parents tell her that she will be spending the summer on Marble Island with her grandmother. That means living in the bed and breakfast owned by her grandmother and not hanging out with her friends. At least Matzo Ball is going to come along.
This plan doesn't help Harriet's grumpy mood and frequent lying. There are a few good things about the island, ice cream, the library, and getting to search through the old shed with some of her father's old things. While searching, Harriet finds an interesting key which begins a mysterious hunt to find the lock it opens. Her father mentioned there was a treasure to be found, now Harriet just has to find it.
Elana K. Arnold is the also the author of the BAT series. Hopefully, Harriet will become a returning character for this author.
