When MEET KIT: AN AMERICAN GIRL 1934 was written in 2000, the economy was expanding at a record pace, and the travails of a little girl during the Great Depression probably seemed quaint.

The author has done an excellent job describing the roots of the Depression in language appropriate for readers 8-12, and the historical photos and notes at the end of the book will deepen the understanding of young history buffs.
