nLonglisted for the 2023 Booker Prize nn nA funny and deeply moving novel about a boy, his dream, and the people who lend him a hand, by the acclaimed author of As You Weren nJamie ONeill 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.n nHow 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, its about love, family and connection, the power of imagination, and how our greatest adventures never happen alone.n
