99: Hard Times: Kit Learns a Lesson

Have you ever wondered why you even tried? In book two, Kit takes on new chores at home and fights about the first Thanksgiving at school. She also somehow finds time to hatch an interior design plan with Ruthie. Despite this hustle, hard times start to really hit home. During Kit’s forced Tripp to a soup kitchen, the truth about dad’s business lunches comes out. We discuss underlying assumptions about poverty in the books and reflect on the pop culture scene of 2000.
