"Thief in the theater" is a book from "American Girl" series, about Kit Kittredge, young girl growing up during years of Great Depression. This time, Kit solves the mystery, while volunteering at the small town theatre that is going to play "Macbeth". The book is fun to read and is a "page turner" for young readers, and at the same time it describes this difficult historical period without being overly didactic.

The illustrations reminded me of the illustrated books from my own childhood; they are beautiful and truly representative of the era.
I also liked the historical reference pages about the theater at the end of the book. It is another starting point for curious minds to follow up.

I think, this is a wonderful book for any age.
