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. 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."-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20231030. 650 $a Perpetual motion $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Mothers and sons $v Fiction. 650 $a Schoolboys $v Fiction. 650 $a Fiction - General. 650 7 $a Literary. 650 $a World Literature - Ireland - 21st Century. 650 $a Humorous - General. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. 655 7 $a Novels. 941 $a 8 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020838.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125010758.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012110.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20231212010456.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20231205011048.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231202011940.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231202010634.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20231121012510.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CF88C236883B11EEBC107B3452ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
