HTML:<p><b>Longlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize • One of the Globe and Mail's "Sixty-Two Books to Read This Fall"<br /></b></p> <p><b>A funny and deeply moving novel about a boy, his dream, and the people who lend him a hand, by the acclaimed author of <i>As You Were</i></b></p> <p>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 thirteen, 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.</p> <p><i>How to Build a Boat</i> 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.</p>. Media Type: eBook.
