Kit Kittredge

Abigail Breslin is Kit Kittredge in this movie based on the popular American Girl books. In this movie Kit is faced with the reality of the Depression and the impact it has on not only her family but other people as well. When there is a crime committed at her house she gets to use her investigation abilities to solve the case. Breslin is always a joy to watch and this movie is no different. A good movie about a tough time in history, but done in a way appropriate for a younger audience.
