PAGE TURNER AWARD FINALIST! The fate of the world may rest in the hands of a lovelorn Brooklyn piano player...

From the acclaimed author of The French Girl's War comes a gripping tale of courage, love, and the extraordinary power of music.

1943 - Brooklyn, New York

Jingle Boys follows Wally Lipkin, a Brooklyn piano prodigy whose incredible talent is overshadowed by a debilitating anxiety disorder that makes him faint at the worst moments. With his eighteenth birthday approaching, a draft letter from Uncle Sam looms-a potential death sentence for someone like Wally. Revealing his secret could keep him off the front lines but might also land him in a sanatorium, like his unfortunate uncle. Desperate to escape his fate, Wally joins forces with his brother Max and their friend Frankie to enter a high-stakes radio jingle contest. Winning promises local fame, fifty dollars, and a coveted stateside government job that would allow Wally to serve his country without risking his life. Just as their plan starts to take shape, a mesmerizing singer with a secret of her own enters their lives. Suddenly, Wally's jingles and his choices carry consequences far beyond his own survival-they could alter the course of the war itself. Jingle Boys is a thrilling adventure filled with danger, intrigue, and romance, celebrating unlikely heroes whose smallest acts of courage can make the biggest difference. Dive into this heart-pounding tale and discover how courage and creativity can change the world.
