I think, or at least I hope, kids still feel that way reading it today. Welsch was a take charge gal, and I wanted to be just like her. There’s a lesson about gossip and secrets and friendship and just plain old growing up at it’s heart, but’s it’s Harriet’s self imposed “job” that’s so thrilling. Even so, there isn’t a girl who could read this an not immediately want to grab a notebook and start up her own neighborhood spy route. There are certainly dated elements, and elements that are so NYC-specific that I think my fifth grader brain must have rolled right over them when I first read it. Harriet is one of my favorite book characters of all time. ![]() And let’s not forget Ole Golly, who makes Mary Poppins look like a complete fraud.

His wife, Mariamma, tries to protect their younger son, Thoma, from Ousep’s harmless but humiliating alcoholic rages, while Thoma struggles to impress the beautiful Mythili, one of the brothers’ closest friends. Ousep, a journalist, spends his days interrogating those who knew Unni, and his nights drunkenly waking his neighbors upon his return home. Three years after 17-year-old Unni Chacko, a budding cartoonist, plunged from his third-floor terrace, his father, Ousep, resumes his obsessive search for the truth behind his death, using his son’s funny and contemplative comics as guides in his quest through modern-day India.

However, the fortuitous survival of primary source materials within various repositories, historically situated at Kilkenny, offers a research path to explore the worlds inhabited by Kilkenny's Conventual Franciscans, present in the town between c. This paucity of written records, and of extant built-fabric, has contributed to the lack of scholarly attention given to the medieval Irish Conventual Franciscans, especially when compared with their Observant confrères. Additionally, since the Conventuals were, for the most part, confined to the Anglo-Norman parts of Ireland, their friaries were among the first to be dissolved during the sixteenth-century Irish suppression campaign, leading to the dismantlement and reconfiguration of their ecclesiastical precincts.
