The Hooverville Happening
(2025)(The ninth book in the Donaghue Histories series)
A novel by C Jane Reid
It’s 1933, and the Great Depression has dug its claws into the country. In St. Louis, Nedra Sinclaire is one of the lucky ones because she doesn’t live in the local Hooverville shanty town, but volunteers there with her parents as they help see to the sick and injured among the destitute residents. When her work is done, she transforms into just Ned, a scrapper running with the Tin Can Gang, shooting marbles and looking for anything they can use, sell, or eat.
When the leader of the gang is killed, nobody but Ned is willing to investigate. As she does, she has to keep secret the fact that she’s not Just Ned but a girl. Add in the involvement of another local gang, and, shockingly, an old family rival, and Ned will be lucky to come out of it all unscathed.
The Hooverville Happening, set in 1933 St. Louis, is the ninth book in the saga of the Donaghue family. Each book follows the next generation of the family against the backdrop of the developing United States and features historical detail, strong individuals and their craftiness.
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
