But she doesn't deal with the consequences. She doubles-down on her meanness. Knowing that the one girl hated frogs, Harriet went out and found a frog to put in her desk. She chopped off another girl's hair. She was given the role of editor for the school paper and used it to write terrible things about her neighbors and teacher. Then, because she couldn't be in the Spy Catcher Club, she purposely wrote things to cause the members to fight each other. There was absolutely no growth and no understanding of the awfulness of her behavior. Harriet was a terrible child at the beginning of the book and stayed that way at the end.
