My daughter and I like these stories because they help us understand the depression. Kit's family had to be very creative when her father lost his job and couldn't find more work. They turned their home into a boarding house. Kit gets into all kinds of adventures in these books. She also learns to work hard and look on the bright side of things. Hope can go a long way when the world looks discouraging all around you. She became very thrifty. She also kept writing her little newspaper. She will b

I liked this story collection because Kit was funny, cheerful. She was arrested but she got out. But I don't know which is my favourite book because they were all so awesome. I liked the theater one, where Kit volunteers to work in the theater and she does that until school starts. In another book they work for a newspaper. And then in her first book, she had a boy living in her home called Sterling. They had boarders. That's all I have to say about this book.

I think that this is a great seires for a ten year old. I read them when I was 10 and I LOVED them!! I would read them over and over, but then I stopped... And last saturday I decided to read them all over again! (P.S. The movie, although it is good, doesn't follow the storyline... at all. Only a little bit. So read the books.)

Who can't love the American Girl series? Just as the others, Kit's story collection takes a point in time, in this case the Great Depression, and tells about life from a young girl's point of view. Kit has the kind of caring and gumption we hope all girls develop.

I really enjoyed this set. It made me think about how really blessed we are today. I want my kids to read these. Even my older ones. Maybe it will help them realize all that they have and how easy it is to lose material posessions.

These stories really helped Lorna and I to gain perspective on life in 1934, my mom was ten years old at that time. Loved Kit's "Waste Not, Want Not Almanac" and the message of finding the positive in all things and people.

We loved Kit. We really like all the American Girls books - another great audio pick for the summer. I'm impressed with the quality of writing, the relevance of the historical stories and the gentle lessons taught.

I love the American Girl series and I plan to keep them for many years to come. Kit, is a spunky girl with pride and good nack of making stuff into fun. She wishes to be a reporter and through her adventures during the Great Depression draws you into a world, that is starting to look like our own.

Having two daughters it is only natural that they would want to read the Histories of their dolls. But, that is what makes these books so wonderful! Historical Fiction is made "cool"! I just love it!

Another great American girl set, but an even better lesson on the ingenuity of those who have survived hard times in history. And also on the importance of your character.

I loved these books. They were a quick read (probably because they are for girls age 8 and up:) and I enjoyed reading about her life in the Great Depression.

Loved these books when I was younger, and I still do. The series was especially fascinating for me, since I live so close to where Kit lived.
