My latest book…
In THE BOY, THE BOAT, AND THE BEAST , a boy filled with fear wakes alone on a mysterious, scary beach with no memory of how he got there or even who he is. When he sees a light shining over trees, he gathers his courage to follow in the hope that he’ll find some answers and his home—but first he must face his biggest fears.
This middle-grade contemporary fantasy novel was called “an unforgettable, life-affirming tale” by ALA Booklist and has been translated into three languages.
THE BOY, THE BOAT, AND THE BEAST (Paula Wiseman Books/Simon & Schuster) is available wherever books are sold.
Praise for The Boy, The Boat, and The Beast
Edgar Award-winning author of Footer Davis Is Probably Crazy and Super Max: And the Mystery of Thornwood’s Revenge
“Lyrical and hauntingly beautiful, this is a story for everyone who’s had to learn to face their fears.”
~Jennifer A. NielsenNew York Times best-selling author of The False Prince series and the Mark of the Thief series
“The Boy, The Boat, and The Beast is part action-adventure, part dreamy allegory—a painful, beautiful, and mysterious read. Samantha M Clark has given us a boy whom we love, fear for, and will not soon forget.”
~Liz Garton ScanlonAuthor of The Great Good Summer and the Caldecott Honor picture book All the World
