Summary

In the final book of the Kit series, our hero is ready to become an agent for change. But first, she’ll have to deal with a cranky relative…again. When conservative Uncle Hendrick gets injured, he makes it everyone’s problem. The upside to his unwanted residency at the Kittredge home? Kit learns how to engage with anti-New Deal rhetoric while typing letters to the editor. We talk about this six-book Tripp through the Depression, real letters written by kids in this era, and what we imagine for Kits future.
