In the tradition of All The Light We Cannot See and The Nightingale, comes an incandescent debut novel about a young Dutch man who comes of age during the perilousness of World War II.
Beginning in the summer of 1939, fourteen-year-old Jacob Koopman and his older brother, Edwin, enjoy lives of prosperity and quiet contentment. Many of the residents in their small Dutch town have some connection to the Koopman lightbulb factory, and the locals hold the family in high esteem. On days when they aren't playing
with friends, Jacob and Edwin help their Uncle Martin on his fishing boat in the North Sea, where German ships have become a common sight. But conflict still seems unthinkable, even as the boys' father naively sends his sons to a Hitler Youth Camp in an effort to secure German business for the factory.
When war breaks out, Jacob's world is thrown into chaos. The Boat Runner follows Jacob over the course of four years, through the forests of France, the stormy beaches of England, and deep within the secret missions of the German Navy, where he is confronted with the moral dilemma that will change his life - and his life's mission - forever.
Epic in scope and featuring a thrilling narrative with precise, elegant language, The Boat Runner tells the little-known story of the young Dutch boys who were thrown into the Nazi campaign, as well as the brave boatmen who risked everything to give Jewish refugees safe passage to land abroad. Through one boy's harrowing tale of personal redemption, here is a novel about the power of people's stories and voices to shine light through our darkest days, until only love prevails.

Upbeat drama in which a retired boxer turned school janitor helps a
bullied child stand up to his tormentors. Dan Barnes (Steve Austin)
is an ex-professional boxer who gave up the sport partly from
fatigue and partly in search of a less violent way of life. When he
begins working in the more sedate role of a high school janitor, he
is surprised to find that his fighting gifts may come in handy. One
of the children at the school, Matthew (Daniel Magder), is being
cruelly bullied by some of his classmates. Taking on the role of
mentor, Dan teaches Matthew to box. Though one of the boy's
tormentors, Hector (Jaren Brandt Bartlett), is the current school
boxing champion, under the expert guidance of his tutor Matthew
just might spring a surprise on the bullies.
In a world built for Perfect Pets, Barnabus is a Failed Project,
half mouse, half elephant, kept out of sight until his dreams of
freedom lead him and his misfit friends on a perilous adventure. A
stunning picture book from international bestsellers The Fan
Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan. Deep underground
beneath Perfect Pets, where children can buy genetically engineered
"perfect" creatures, there is a secret lab. Barnabus and his
friends live in this lab, but none of them are perfect. They are
all Failed Projects. Barnabus has never been outside his tiny bell
jar, yet he dreams of one day seeing the world above ground that
his pal Pip the cockroach has told him about: a world with green
hills and trees, and buildings that reach all the way to the sky,
lit with their own stars. But Barnabus may have to reach the
outside world sooner than he thought, because the Green Rubber
Suits are about to recycle all Failed Projects . . . and Barnabus
doesn't want to be made into a fluffier pet with bigger eyes. He
just wants to be himself. So he decides it's time for he and the
others to escape. With his little trunk and a lot of cooperation
and courage, Barnabus sets out to find freedom - and a place where
he and his friends can finally be accepted for who they are. This
suspenseful, poignant and magical story about following your dreams
and finding where you truly belong will draw readers into a
surreal, lushly detailed world in which perfection really means
being true to yourself and your friends. 'A stately, cathartic
morality tale about freeing oneself from the tyranny of wanting to
be perfect.' -The Financial Times 'ingeniously imaginative' -
School Library Journal 'A heartfelt, timely allegory celebrating
diversity, bravery, and solidarity.'- Kirkus
