Where am at in the book Hitch?

Well I am a little over half way in the book.  This book is very good so far.  I think this is one of the best books that I have read in a while.  The story is very interesting and it makes you want to keep on reading.  I really like the main character in the book, his name is Moss Trawnley.  He is a very brave kid and he is also very kind.  He is able to do things on his own and not need anybodys help.  When he gets fired form his job he does not give up.  He still tries to find a job and afford technical school, so he signs up with president Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation Corps.  This will at least give him food and a roof over his head.  This book is very good so far and I suggest this book for all ages because it is very well written.

New Book

So I am just staring a new book called Hitch by Jeanette Ingold. It looks very good. I read the back and it sounds like a very interesting story. Its about a seventeen year-old kid who has been excepted to technical school. He is trying to save up for tuition to go to the school when suddenly he gets fired from his job and his dreams are crushed. I am very interested to find out what happens in the story. I hope this book has a lot of action in it. It sounds like it will be a very good book.

Mood

The mood at the beginning of the book River Rats is kind of sad because the kids are orphans who were abandon on a ship, just after they escaped the nuclear holocaust. The mood starts to get happy when the kids take over the ship but the kids have to deliver mail in exchange for food. I would say that the overall mood of the book is sad just because of the situation that the kids are in.

Authors Message

I believe that the authors message in the book River Rats is to be brave and do not give up when you are facing a big challenge. The kids on the ship face a huge challenge when they get abandon. So they try to take over the ship and the succeed. Another message that I believe the author is sending is to be courageous. The kids never back down when they are facing something hard. The kids are very good at facing challenges. The characters in this book had some very good traits. This book was very well written and I think that it is obvious what the authors message is.
