This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Kit Kittredge, a nine-year-old girl living in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is 1934, the Great Depression is deepening, and Kit finds more to worry about. Having overheard that her family might lose their house, Kit jumps at a chance to bring in money by doing odd jobs for her rich but peevish uncle. Taking every opportunity to maximize her earnings, Kit gives a Christmas gift to the family...enough money to pay the electric bill for another month.

It was really, really good and perfect to read during the holidays.

I thought this was a fun story but true to life in dealing with other's feelings when tying to be "thoughtful" and how to deal with grumpy relatives while keeping a since of humor and self-respect.
