"A poignant coming-of-age story and an enchanting primer on the
life aquatic. "The Highest Tide" is as crisp and clean as a cool
dip into the water, and just about as refreshing.--"Entertainment
Weekly "
One moonlit night, thirteen-year-old Miles O'Malley sneaks out of
his house and goes exploring on the tidal flats of Puget Sound.
When he discovers a rare giant squid, he instantly becomes a local
phenomenon shadowed by people curious as to whether this
speed-reading, Rachel Carson obsessed teenager is just an observant
boy or an unlikely prophet. But Miles is really just a kid on the
verge of growing up, infatuated with the girl next door, worried
that his bickering parents will divorce, and fearful that
everything, even the bay he loves, is shifting away from him. As
the sea continues to offer up discoveries from its mysterious
depths, Miles struggles to deal with the difficulties that attend
the equally mysterious process of growing up.
