The Little Friend

Twelve-year-old Harriet is doing her best to grow up, which is not easy as her mother is permanently on medication, her father has silently moved to another city, and her serene sister rarely notices anything. All of them are still suffering from the shocking and mysterious death of her brother Robin twelve years earlier, and it seems to Harriet that the family may never recover. So, inspired by Captain Scott, Houdini, and Robert Louis Stevenson, she sets out with her only friend Hely to find Robin's murderer and punish him. But what starts out as a child's game soon becomes a dark and dangerous journey into the menacing underworld of a small Mississippi town.

    Thought Provoking

    Told from the perspective of 12 year old Harriet. Harriet turns detective in an attempt to discover the truth behind her brothers mysterious death 12 years earlier. Her adventure takes her deep into the underbelly of the small Mississippi town in which she lives. Tartts's novel is full of suspense, it's intriguing, thought provoking and there is a lesson to be learnt. It has drawn comparisons with Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird
