Summary

Some American Girls wear capes and some take part in capers. In Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, we meet a rising star who could do both. We talk about the fantastic cast of the Kit movie, how the film differs from the books, and what we can learn now from its portrayal of the Depression. If you’re curious about the art of the steal and intense dinner-time conversations on the New Deal, don’t miss our coverage of the endearing and mysterious Kit movie.
