About the author
Jeanette Ingold
9 books24 followers I love road trips and museums, mountains and woods, libraries and old houses, mysterious photographs, and people with stories to tell. I’m a Montanan who grew up in New York in a family of Texans. I’ve a husband, two kids, a pair of grandkids, and a dog named Mica. Most of my best friends are other writers, and my days don’t feel right when I don’t begin them by putting words on the page. And that all leads to books.
Many of those road trips have been to national parks where I’ve seen countless small signs saying that CCC youth build this turnout or that lodge. They made me curious about who those young people were and why they worked so hard.
The result was HITCH, a novel that brings one of my most-beloved Texas characters, Moss Trawnley, to a Civilian Conservation Corps camp in central Montana. I’m pleased to report that the newest edition of HITCH is a great audiobook recording from Audible.
Young people tackling hard jobs is a theme that runs through all of my novels. THE BIG BURN first brought my writing home to the Northwest. This is a place where forest fires shape land and lives and where young people like my son in his college days sometimes spend their summers on fire crews.
I was delighted when VOYA called this fictional account of the terrible 1910 wildfires “a must-read for adrenalin junkies,” but I hope it will also provoke thought about some of the factors that lie behind the forest fires of today.
PAPER DAUGHTER, my newest novel, tells two stories of teens making their way in the adult world. One is a Chinese immigrant living under a false identity in Exclusion Era days. The other is Maggie Chen, an intern at a Seattle newspaper. I had fun writing her experiences there. My own first writing job was in a newsroom, and looking back, I have to think I couldn’t have asked for a better place to hone my craft.
I don’t put my life into my books, exactly, but bits and pieces do, of course, make their way in, reshaped and sometimes carried far beyond where I might have gone.
MOUNTAIN SOLO is about a passion for music—for a violin, especially—and about the hard choices that can come with great talent. I’ve played mine only enough—in high school and now picked up again--to have a huge respect for anyone who works hard at learning an instrument.
THE WINDOW is about a different kind of courage—the kind needed by a teenage girl facing blindness. It was my first book and, along with two others, is set in Texas. The heroine, Mandy, finds support in family and family stories, and that’s another theme that I like to explore.
Mine was an airline family, and the tales my mom and dad told led me to write AIRFIELD. It’s about two teens who talk themselves into jobs at a small airport in the sometimes romantic, sometimes terrifying early days of commercial aviation.
And finally there’s PICTURES, 1918, to be released as an eBook later this year. I wrote it wanting to put my grandmother’s voice on paper, as well to capture the magic of photography, whether it’s done with an old-fashioned film camera or on the newest phone. I hope you’ll look for it and let me know what you think!

DNF. Not my thing - at least right now. Very boring, not exciting. I don't really want to spend more time with it when I have other books I really want to read.

A review from my old blog...
I absolutely loved this book.
In Hitch, Ingold describes the journey of Moss Trawnley in becoming a man during the middle of the Great Depression. Moss deals with a father who struggles with alcoholism and commitment issues of his own before joining up with the CCC Civilian Conservation Corps one of the alphabet soup organizations created during the New Deal.
Though as a fiscal conservative sometimes I cringe at how Roosevelt drastically increased the size and scope of government in order to pull the country out of the Great Depression (think Social Security for one) I actually admire efforts like the CCC which put men to work, thus decreasing unemployment, and at the same time helped hardworking Americans like farmers to conserve and protect land devastated by drought.
Though Moss at 17 is a bit older than my future middle school students and thus struggles with issues that might not affect my students I definitely recommend this book. Applications definitely could be extracted for the current financial crisis among other things.

This is an important book that highlights the struggles of young adults in the Great Depression. It also brings alive life in a little-known area of the United States in a compelling and dramatic way. It made me want to visit Montana and to learn more about the young men who were forced into labour because they couldn't find work. The Depression is a time period that's always held some fascination for because of the way it bonded people together and forced them to be strong.
This is a well-written, important drama that's worth reading by all ages.

i started this book in my litteracy class with three other classmates. we were reading this book together but we ran out of time to finish it. i was enjoying the story end got the book for myself to finish on my own. i'm glad i did, it is a very good book i love the story and the challenges that moss is facing trying to be a leader and how heb is responding to it. i'm very happy that i went back to finish this on my own because i would have missed out on an amazing book!

I really enjoyed this coming-of-age story of a young man in 1935 who finds work and purpose when he joins the CCC. I especially liked the tagline on the cover: Becoming a man takes work. Interesting implications for the young characters who realize at the end of the book they may all end up fighting WWII together.

This book is about Moss Trawnley a 17 year old that lives during the Great Depression, he plans on going to technical school but when his boss says those 2 words most employees would have a heart aattack about, Your Fired he's homeless and jobs are impossible to find so he joins president Roosovelt's Civilian Convservation Camp for food.
This book was great but the reason im giving it 4 stars is because not everything happened the way i would have liked it. Those of us who read this book hardly know a thing about Beatty, but we learned alot about Maggie and I think Moss shoud've ended up with her instead of Beatty, besides that the book was pretty good and helped me see some of the things that happened during the Great Depression.

The Civilian Conservation Corps was one of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s initial New Deal programs designed to put the nation’s young men to work during the Great Depression. They were charged with among other things the tasks of reforestation, dam and reservoir construction, and park restoration. Ingold tells a fascinating story that shows why a young man might join the CCC and what camp life might be like.
More than just being an overview of the CCC though, she creates a likeable protagonist for us who is coping with internal and external conflicts. And she highlights the proper way to deal with those conflicts. While reading Moss’ story you are waiting for him to lash out because it is the natural first instinct, but he learned from his experience what happens when you do that. Moss is a flawed character but he is good at heart, accepts subtle direction, and learns the best ways to lead.
In addition to Moss she shows young men and women who have many different talents and passions. I thought it was great that there were young men who loved to read and were good in the kitchen and that there were young ladies who were pilots and were interested in the family farm. It is a reminder that it is our abilities and interests that should guide our work and passions, not our sex.
While the characters in this story tend to be 17 and older, I feel that youths 12 and up would enjoy this story. This book would also be well used in middle/high school language arts classes to make a cross curriculum connection with U.S. History in particular the Great Depression and the New Deal era.

I read to page 40 in this young adult historical novel, and just couldn't continue. Not when I have so many interesting novels on my shelves begging to be read. I don't think this is a bad novel, but I just felt like I was reading a junior high Accelerated Reader novel. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood? But, anyway, I felt like I was wading through so much historical background information and waiting for the plot to kick in. I didn't want to wait. So I stopped.[return][return]The official Library of Congress summary: "To help his family during the Depression and avoid becoming a drunk like his father, Moss Trawnley joins the Civilian Conservation Corps, helps build a new camp near Monroe, Montana, and leads the other men in making the camp a success."

"The CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) runs on muscle and elbow grease."
3.5 star rounded up to 4.
I need to read more novels about the Great Depression, but more specifically, the time period afterwards. Pigeonholed in between two world wars, I'm not sure if it's overshadowed or just not a lot of literature about it (well, Grapes of Wrath, I still need to read!).
This novel took a very unique approach to young adult attitudes. Many men were offered the opportunity to make some money (to send home), so that they could find work. The main character, Moss Trawley gets a very quick lesson that some people make selfish decisions, some work hard, and, well, life isn't fair! What path will he choose? . Doing the right thing definitely is hard when so many people were hurting after losing so much.
"I don't see much point in dwelling on what can't be helped."
The one thing that bums me is the writing level of this book. It's more at an eight grade or freshman reading level, so there isn't a lot of character development. I feel like I did learn a lot about what CCC camps were asked to do: build state and national parks, soil conservation (after the Dust Bowl and bad farming practices), assisting to build CCC camps, snow removal, feeding wildlife, diverting creeks and building reservoirs. And it certainly shows were many men found the grit to fight in WWII.

t's the late 1930s, right in the midst of the Great Depression. Moss Trawnley gets fired from his job - and has his mother and younger sisters at home that depend on his income. Pa is supposed to be taking care of them but isn't keeping work to send money back to the family. So when Moss learns about the CCC, he joins up. This is a tale of adventure, survival, the hardships of the Great Depression, the joy of friendship, and the importance of standing up for what's right.
I'm not usually a fan of historical fiction at all. Probably one of my least favorite genres to read. That being said, I really enjoyed this book! I think part of it is in our recent National Park travels, I've seen a lot of structures and projects that were CCC completed, so it was interesting to get a fictional glimpse into what being a CCC member might have been like. This book had some great life messages too on top of the interesting CCC story. It was also interesting seeing the contrasting perspectives of a local farmer vs. the CCC - and make you care what both thought.
Really well done book - and that's coming from someone who usually avoids historical fiction like the plague. I'll go 8 of 10 overall and 4.5 of 5 for readability. I'd say this could even lean more middle grade - content wise is quite clean, but some background historical knowledge would be a good thing.

I’d never really paid much attention to signs that said “erected by the CCC” when my family travels in Montana’s parks. I knew that it was a group of teenage boys who were paid by President Roosevelt's program to fix up national parks. I had no idea they helped with conservation work and worked with farmers and ranchers to help repair the land ruined by poor farming practices. This book is about a young Texas teenager named Moss, who leaves Texas looking for his father that abandoned the family. He ends up joining the CCC in Montana and helping with soil conservation efforts. Filled with historical facts and true representations of Montana weather this book would be perfect read for a boy thirteen years and up. Moss navigates dealing with bullies and standing up for what is right. We see him struggle to respect his drunk father and ultimately come to terms with what kind of man he wants to be. He is honest in the end when it comes to his female relationships and one chaste hug between him and his girlfriend.
I found this book to be very realistic at painting a picture of the complexities of the adult world that teenagers are just stepping into without being overwhelming and ending on a good note. While God or prayer are not mentioned this story has the moral of doing what’s right no matter what. This would make another fantastic book group read.

I'm a high school age re-reader, and I was first assigned this book in fifth grade. I hated it then, specifically because it was assigned, but now that I got a chance to read it on my own terms, I really like it!
One of the things I was impressed with is that the characters were well fleshed out and true to themselves, having distinct personalities and reactions to situations. That's always one of the things I appreciate about books like this one, as I am an amateur writer myself and can never manage to make good characters with unique personalities.
I also appreciated the way the camp was depicted, especially the relationships between the men there. As a student in a co-ed school, I’ve seen these guy-to-guy friendships on a regular basis, and even though the times have changed since the setting of this book, nothing much else has. I can look at the friendships and partnerships in the book and think, “Ah, yes. I know people like that,” and I always get a kick out of it.
The only reason I gave this book four stars instead of five is that the romantic relationship drama with the main character went way over my head and kinda made the book awkward to read. I have a severe aversion to things like that, so maybe it’s just a me problem.
Besides that, I really recommend this book to anyone interested in a rolicking, antique story of hardship, friendship, and growing up.

This book was interesting. It flowed well and was informative for what the CCC were about.
What I didn't like, was Moss himself. I didn't get to know him as well as I wanted to. He was very stand-offish. He even commented, to himself, that he didn't understand how others could speak so freely about themselves - like telling where they were from and about their families. This just felt like an excuse to keep him from getting too close to the others, though he ended up forming some great friendships.
I really wish there were more of Moss's thoughts. Big exciting things happen and I had no idea how it was effecting him, or what he thought.
But I did enjoy it.

it was a great book that explained the struggles of life during the great depression and what teenage boys did for there families to get back on there feet. It also helps explain that if something may not be able to be completed with enough hard work and the Will to finish you can. finally if all of your plans go wrong and you are brought down by people who think they are better then you they may not be and you should prove that to them.

What a fascinating little slice of life this book was! I had no idea that during the Great Depression, President Roosevelt began an initiative called the Civilian Conservation Corps. For young men (late teens, early 20s) who couldn’t find a job, the government trained them in conservation projects. In return for their hard work, they were paid $30 a week and given three square meals a day. This not only kept many of them off the streets, and kept them from starving and stealing rides on trains, but it also taught them many practical skills that they could use for life.
The story features fictional Moss Trawnley, a boy who has an alcoholic father who abandoned the family and a poor mother with too many mouths to feed. Moss learns how to live in hard conditions (a tent in the snow in northern Montana while building barracks), how to get along with other boys who are very different from him, how to respect authority, how to stand up for himself when treated unfairly, and how to have a good work ethic even when everything is against you.
This book has characters - even government workers who are in charge of the operations - who are liars and cheaters and take advantage of others. (I know, imagine that, right?)
In reality, the CCC had three million employees in over 4,000 camps in the U.S. These young men replanted forests and restored wildlife refuges, scenic lookouts, parks, monuments (restoring monuments as opposed to tearing them down), and farmland. The effect of all this hard work can still be seen today.
The saddest thing about it to me was realizing that when they finished up and were so excited about starting their lives with new skills and career possibilities and lifelong dreams, it was nearly 1940.

This book is a niche historical fiction set during the Great Depression in America, and about a teenage boy who joins up with the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). Reading about a young boy living and working through a time and place rather remote from me didn’t catch my interest at first, but as the plot continued I was pulled further in. I really did enjoy learning more about the experience of the CCC, a government effort I only remember memorizing the acronym for back in A.P. U.S. History class. It made me wonder more about what it would have been like living that life. I thought this story was well done.

How does this book not have more reviews? It's great. The interesting storyline, realistic main character, and development, make it an awesome book to read on the period of FDR and the Great Depression.

This is a good read. It's interesting to see how Moss' decisions lead him in directions he never considered. Highly likable protagonists, and equally dislikable, well, not necessarily villains, but antagonists, for sure.

This was a pretty easy read, and instructive on a level of the Great Depression about which I knew nothing. The story itself was interesting and easy to follow, and I enjoyed it overall!

This was a good growing up story. Learning when to step up and when to stand back. Would be a good book to read in school.

The CCC is something personally important and fascinating to me, and I loved reading a story about it.

I enjoyed reading about the CCC but the word “riveting” in the subtitle is overly enthusiastic.
