"Harriet the __": kid-lit classic (3)

I believe the answer is:

spy

(Other definitions for spy that I've seen before include "Mole, agent" , "One gathers information surreptitiously" , "Secret agent of government" , "Watch covertly like secret agent" , "Catch sight of" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
