Read around 2010-2012 ish. This book is about a young school girl who thinks of herself as a detective. She journals EVERYTHING. Anything she sees, she will journal it. Her classmates stole her journal once and read through it, and it said horrible things about them. The girl doesn't really have friends at school other than one I'm pretty sure. The girl has an imaginary game where she runs this imaginary town. Also, the girl has busy parents so she doesn't get to spend a lot of time with them. As a result of that, she has a nanny, who later in the story meets this guy who has a bicycle. And at the end, the guy, the nanny, and the girl are all on his bike having a good time, but the girl's parents are freaked out that their daughter is lost. There's also something about an egg soda (it's her favorite drink)

Sounds like Harriet the Spy.

Genuinely how do you guys do this, I really want to know.

haha - A lot of the people on here are crack researchers, but that's not me; I can only identify the ones I've read. Harriet is a classic and has been in print for fifty years, so someone else would've chimed in if I hadn't.

If you loved the book, you might be happy to know there are two sequels!

Glad you found your book, Ryan.

Book 1 of the Harriet the Spy series by Louise Fitzhugh - Daisy's find.
