Kit's aspiration is to become a great journalist. When she realizes that news requires fresh topics, she is always ready to explore new events. The local area has been plagued by heinous cases of homeless robberies. This time, it was Kit's friend Ruthie's home that was robbed, followed by the theft of Kit's safe. All the accusations were directed at Will, but only Kit believed he was innocent. By chance, Kit and her friends discovered the real culprit and planned to use a trick to capture him. Can they get life back to normal before Thanksgiving arrives? The Great Depression made people's lives difficult, yet it also made them stronger.[Collapse]
