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.

"Songwriters. Codebreakers. Intrigue. Romance. Jingle Boys explores a fresh WWII story I've never before heard. At once surprising, heartbreaking, and great fun, Williams-Dalgart's unique characters bring this relevant historical fiction to vivid life. But beware: addictive jingles might get stuck in your brain."
