Carolyn Meyer is an award-winning and best-selling author of over sixty books for children and young adults, more than twenty of which are historical. She lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where a Harvey Hotel and Restaurant was located.
“A suitable fit for American Girl series graduates, this
diary-style historical novel follows the adventures of
independent-minded 16-year-old Katherine ‘Kitty’ Evans, who sets
off on her own in 1926 . . . Kitty’s diary entries express her
growing confidence, her journalist’s eye for detail, and her love
of fun, and b&w period photographs bring additional ambiance to
Meyer’s (Beauty’s Daughter) colorful portrait of a working
girl.” —Publishers Weekly
“A fast and interesting read about a part of history of which many
readers may be unaware.” —School Library Connection
“(Will) appeal to readers who have enjoyed but outgrown the Dear
America and American Girl series.” —Kirkus Reviews
