Nine-year-old Kit loves spending time with
her best friend Ruthie talking about their families, friends and favorite
books. And Kit especially likes to put down all the news of the day
in her very own newspaper. She types up her own headlines and stories
every day so she can show the newspaper to her father when he comes
home from work. But when Kit's father has to close down his car dealership
because of the hard times, Kit fears her life will soon read like
the city newspaper --- filled with sad and worrisome items. Things
get even more complicated when Mother invites Mrs. Howard and her
sickly son Stirling to stay with the Kittredge's while Mr. Howard
finds work.
Kit's family now must pull together more than ever. Her older brother
Charlie will not be able to go to college this year, and Kit offers
to give up dancing lessons and other frills. And when Mother decides
to take in other boarders, the family faces their biggest adjustment
of all.
You'll definitely want to read this book to find out more about spunky
Kit and her family and friends.
