Book Reviews of Meet Kit: An American Girl 1934 (The American Girls Collection, Book 1)
Book Review: A Spirited Young Girls Adventures During The Great Depression
Summary: 5 Stars
The year is 1934, and nine-year-old Margaret Mildred Kittredge - better known as "Kit" to her friends and family - is going through a lot of changes. The Great Depression is taking jobs away from more and more people everyday, and in Cincinnati, Ohio, Kit's father is feeling the heat. Before long, he must sell his car dealership, and join the ranks of the unemployed surrounding him. This brings about problems, for now Kit's family must worry about making the house payments on time, and sending Kit's older brother Charlie to college. But things look up when Kit's mother comes up with the idea to turn the family's private home into a boarding house - that way they can make money without leaving the house. But Kit's unsure of whether this is a good idea, especially when a sick boy named Stirling moves in, and lands Kit in hot water with his overprotective mother, and her very own burdened mother.
I read a mystery story about Kit before beginning this series, and loved her so much that I picked up the entire collection. Kit is one of the most exciting, adventurous, well-rounded, determined young character to hit the AMERICAN GIRLS collection in a long time. Her fiery personality, spirited determination, and love of writing make her an interesting character to read about. The many supporting characters such as Kit's mischievous best friend, Ruthie, and the straight-laced Charlie, Kit's older brother, truly bring the story to life, as will the many hardships that Kit and her family must face. Overall, this is a marvelous series for young girls who love history, and want to learn about the Great Depression through the eyes of a triumphant young girl.
