The John J. Harvey fireboat was the largest, fastest,
shiniest fireboat of its time, but by 1995, the city didn’t
need old fireboats anymore. So the Harvey retired, until a
group of friends decided to save it from the scrap heap.
Then, one sunny September day in 2001, something so horrible
happened that the whole world shook. And a call came from
the fire department, asking if the Harvey could battle the
roaring flames. In this inspiring true story, Maira Kalman
brings a New York City icon to life and proves that old
heroes never die. Winner of the Boston Globe–Horn Book
