Kit Crockett, what a kid! She is incredibly smart, lovable, kind, giving, strong, brave, and oh what a survivor. She is a young Cherokee girl that has lost her mother to TB. Life sends her evil people, the sad thing is they are people who are not supposed to be evil which makes it all the more shocking.  From The NY Times “Stealing” is a chronicle of truth, and Kit is an unforgettable American heroine, the kind we yearn for as young readers and as adults.
