Discuss Out Of Books Sport (Harriet the Spy #3)

Eleven year old Sport is living with his divorced father who has 50% custody, although Sport's mother is mostly out of the picture from traveling and not wanting to be around children. His mother is a distant and cold individual who is only interested in custody of Sport to get a higher inheritance from her father.It is really hard to comprehend how a mother can be so unloving and unkind to her own child.

All of Harry's peacock camouflage can't protect him from cops who want to arrest his "n.." self, and the Puerto Rican boy, Chi-chi, is almost as terrified. And they're just pre-pubescent boys....
