He also loves tall trees, patterns, rain that comes with wind, the curvature of certain objects, books with dust jackets, rivers, cats, and Edgar Allan Poe. At age thirteen, there are two things he wants most 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, despite the daily barrage of bullies and cathedral bells, he meets two teachers who might be able to help him, though each struggles against inertias of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow to Build a Boat\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of how one boy's irrepressible dream finds expression through a community propelled by love out of grief.
