A deeply moving novel about a boy and his dream, from the
prize-winning author of As You Were Jamie O'Neill loves the colour
red. He also loves tall trees, patterns, rain that comes with wind,
the curvature of many objects, books with dust jackets, cats,
rivers and Edgar Allan Poe. At age 13 there are two things he
especially wants in life: to build a Perpetual Motion Machine, and
to connect with his mother Noelle, who died when he was born. In
his mind these things are intimately linked. And at his new school,
where all else is disorientating and overwhelming, he finds two
people who might just be able to help him. How to Build a Boat is
the story of how one boy and his mission transforms the lives of
his teachers, Tess and Tadhg, and brings together a community.
Written with tenderness and verve, it's about love, family and
connection, the power of imagination, and how our greatest
adventures never happen alone.
