"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?"--

A modern-day girl finds herself in 1933 Cincinnati, Ohio, and as she and Kit experience life during the Great Depression, the reader is invited to choose how Kit might help her family and others who are less fortunate.

Kit Kittredge witnesses her family go from rich to poor overnight because of the Depression. Doing extra chores and going without the things her family hasn't been able to afford since her dad lost his job isn't easy for Kit, but she is determined to make a difference for her family and for her community.
