The American Girl boxed set came in the amount of time promised and was in great condition. The price and shipping were both very reasonable. Will definately purchase more in the future

I just bought this set for a neighbors daughter and she hasn’t been able to put them down. She is on book six and looking forward to the new movie coming out. It is a beautiful compilation of stories that go to the heart of any young girl. Ann Clarke, author of People Are So Different! based on tolerance and understanding.

She has been reading the set of Kit’s books and has enjoyed them and she is learning about the Great Depression too!!!

Excellent set of books. Very nice stories that give readers an excellent idea of how life was like in the Depression. I enjoy reading these books with my daughter.

Kit’s stories center around America during the Great Depression. Kit Kittredge is a nine-year-old with a nose for news, but she has a hard time finding interesting stories–everything in the papers during her time is about the hard times of the Depression.
Kit starts out as a proud, somewhat selfish character who doesn’t realize what she has until it’s gone. But the changes begin in the first book, when Kit has to stand up to the fact that her father has lost his job and that the Kittredges now face an uncertain future.
The subsequent books, Kit Learns A Lesson, Kit’s Surprise, Happy Birthday, Kit!, Kit Saves the Day and Changes for Kit show Kit as she slowly grows up and deals with the Depression. In Kit’s stories readers will see the effects of the Great Depression on a nine-year-old girl who refuses to lose hope, even when the bank threatens to take her family’s home.
Kit’s stories also feature “Peek into the Past” selections detailing different aspects of the Great Depression. The sections also explain what caused the great Depression.

Kit’s stories are great. I higly recommend the boxed set.
