Brooklyn, 1943. The fate of the Allied war effort may rest with a piano player who faints under pressure.
Wally Lipkin is a prodigy. His fingers can do things on the keys that other musicians only dream about. But Wally has a problem. A debilitating anxiety disorder drops him to the floor at the worst possible moments, which, when facing a wartime draft, is a serious liability.
The plan seems simple enough-the U.S. government is running a jingle-writing competition, and the winner claims a coveted stateside government job, safely out of harm's way. Wally and his friends throw everything into it hoping for the fifty dollar prize, local fame, and most importantly, the avoidance of combat. What could go wrong?
Just as their scheme gains momentum, a mesmerizing singer enters their lives, beautiful, talented, and hiding a secret that could unravel everything. Suddenly Wally is caught between two women, two loyalties, and a set of choices that stretch from Brooklyn to Britain to the battlefields of Italy. His jingles, it turns out, aren't just catchy. In the wrong hands, or the right ones, they could change the course of the war itself.
To succeed, Wally will have to do the one thing he has spent his entire life trying to avoid: show up, in person, when the stakes are highest.
Jingle Boys is an exhilarating WWII adventure, part espionage quest, part love story, and a celebration of the unlikely heroes whose smallest acts of courage make the biggest difference.
