Book: Meet Kit
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Author: Valerie Tripp


Meet Kit is a realistic fiction book, where a little girl named Kit and her family struggle during the Great Depression. Kit LOVES to make "newspapers" for her dad every day when he comes home from work. One of her reports has shocking news that Kit's dad doesn't want to hear. She doesn't know why at first, until Kit's older brother Charlie tells her that "dad lost his job". On the other hand the shocking news is somebody is coming to live with Kit's family. At first Kit is really excited about a BOY (Sterling) coming to live with them (she's a tomboy), somebody to help build a tree house, play catch and read robin hood with. When Sterling and his mother come she finds out Sterling can barely even stand up he's so sick. First her dad losing his job, then a weak boy and his mother to come live with them what could get worse? Well things do get worse- she has to move out of her room and go into the stuffy attic. Join Kit to find out changes can be good. This book is an early reader book so no worries trying to FIND an early reader book.

I enjoyed this book and only sort of recommend it, but it's not that long so if you don't want a short story don't read it. But if you do the average time is about 30 minutes. It is also very informational it tells a lot about when Kit was living, yeah SHE'S fiction but the setting and what HAPPENED to her dad and all is real.
