The Great Depression hits home for nine-year-old Kit Kittredge when her dad loses his business and leaves to find work. In order to keep their home, Kit and her mother must take in boarders paying houseguests who turn out to be full of fascinating stories. When mother’s lockbox containing all their money is stolen, Kits new hobo friend Will is the prime suspect. Kit refuses to believe that Will would steal, and her efforts to sniff out the real news get her and her friends into big trouble. The police say the robbery was an inside job, committed by someone they knew. So if it wasn’t Will, then who did it? (official distributor synopsis)

A very nice retro from HBO, which is primarily aimed at children, but thanks to a rather clever script and good acting performances, it will easily please adults as well. I imagine that if another "child prodigy" had played the lead role, it could have been quite annoying... But Abigail Breslin is an unbeatable natural and a joy to watch.
