Aunt Millie's arrival brings hope, but Kit's adventurous spirit leads her to discover the harsh realities faced by others. As she encounters homeless children, Kit wonders if she can make a difference when even adults feel powerless.

From the publisher

For Kit, the Depression has brought big changes: a houseful of boarders, tons of chores, and no birthday party. Then Aunt Millie arrives, and it looks as if her great ideas might turn things around for the Kittredges. But when Kit’s taste for adventure gets her into trouble, she discovers that the Depression has hit a lot of people far worse than her own family. Can one girl make a difference for homeless kids – when even grownups have lost hope? The second book in Kit’s stories is richly illustrated in full color and includes a peek into Kit’s world in 1934.
