One unforgettable night, thirteen-year-old Miles goes to the flats near his home in search of shellfish, only to discover something startling and remarkable: a giant squid. Instantly, he becomes a local celebrity and is pursued by TV crews urging him to explain the phenomenon. His psychic friend Florence predicts that even more astonishing discoveries are to come, indicators of the highest tide in fifty years. Yet, Miles worries more about matters closer to home: will his passion for his ex-babysitter Angie go unrequited? Will his arguing parents divorce? Is everything, even the bay, shifting from him?

Review:

‘***** This novel is so very special ... extraordinary’ -- Independent on Sunday

‘Infectious ... Even the most hard-hearted readers will finish this book wishing they had their own bay to explore’ -- Matt Thorne, Sunday Telegraph

‘Poetic yet lean, restrained, lucid and radiant ... suffused with a Wordsworthian sense of wonder’ -- The Times
