Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed this one but this time I read it with adult eyes, there were concerns about Harriet‘s behavior. Loved her young critical thinking process. My heart was broken during the goodbye to her significant person. However, it should be discussed with middle grade children of what is appropriate or not when you write about others in school journal (social media). Also it should be discussed differences of being a “spy” vs public privacy. 3.75⭐️

Book was supposed to be read for #MarchMiddleGrade readathon (YouTube) prompt-retelling (what counts is that I read it. One book less from my tbr👍). The movie adaptation is so different from the book but I enjoyed both of them. You will find some elements from the popular Cinderella story but this Ella character is more assertive and so funny in some parts. Some characters are very different like her father😠It is a cute retelling 3.4/3.5⭐️
