Synopsis

Kit’s story continues with the second book in her series.

For Kit, the Depression has brought big changes: a houseful of boarders, tons of chores, and no birthday party. Then Aunt Millie arrives, and it looks as if her great ideas might turn things around for the Kittredges. But when Kit’s taste for adventure gets her into trouble, she discovers that the Depression has hit a lot of people far worse than her own family. Can one girl make a difference for homeless kids—when even grownups have lost hope?

This audiobook includes a historical “Looking Back” section about Kit’s world in 1934.

Kit: Turning Things Around is a much happier book than the first one in the series. It addresses topics from the Great Depression including hoboes, riding the rails, and FDR’s New Deal.
