From the publisher
Kit Kittredge has a nose for news – but she never dreamed that the news stories about the hard times of the Depression would become her own story. First Mother’s bothersome friends move in with the Kittredges. Then Dad loses his business, and Kit’s family could lose their house! Things look hopeless, but a clever idea might let her family keep their home. Can Kit help pull it off? The first book in Kit’s stories is richly illustrated in full color and includes a peek into Kit’s world in 1934.
