Theiss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Charley Russell, a senior in high school who is passionate about wireless technology and the great outdoors, as he navigates the challenges of transitioning into adulthood and responsibilities while maintaining his love for nature and the forests of Pennsylvania.  At the start of the book, we meet Charley in his workshop, contemplating his future as he prepares for a fishing trip with his friend Lew Heinsling. They dream of building a boat but soon face the harsh realities of high lumber prices that crush their plans. Instead, they decide to camp in the mountains to enjoy nature and fish. This opening chapter sets up Charley's internal conflict regarding his desire for freedom and adventure in the woods versus the inevitable expectations to work in his father's factory to help with the family finances. The two boys’ enthusiasm for their trip foreshadows the adventures and challenges they will encounter as they experience the beauty of the forest and confront the devastating consequences of forest fires.
