Items related to The Highest Tide
It is not unusual for thirteen-year-old Miles O'Malley to sneak out and explore the tidal flats of Puget Sound by moonlight. When he discovers a rare sea creature one night, he becomes a local phenomenon hounded by people curious to know whether he is an observant boy or an unlikely prophet. But Miles is just a kid on the verge of growing up, infatuated with the girl next door, worried that his bickering parents will divorce, and struggling to keep his world intact. In this captivating novel, we witness dramatic changes for both Miles and the coastline he adores over one unforgettable summer.

Review:
'This novel is so very special. If you reach the last page without having laughed out loud, felt tears well up or at least once sat back in wonder at the extraordinary descriptions of the sea and its creatures, then you may, quite simply, be inhuman.' Independent on Sunday 'The Highest Tide is one of the best novels it has been my pleasure to read for many a day ... Buy it you should. It is lyrical, moving, funny and breathtakingly well written ... This is a great novel which you will want to reread.' Susan Hill, Spectator 'Poetic yet lean, restrained, lucid and radiant.' The Times 'Move over Haulden Caulfield; here's Miles.' Chicago Tribune

Pages are lightly tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: On a moonlit night, thirteen-year-old Miles O'Malley packs up his kayak and goes exploring on the flats of Puget Sound. Miles loves looking for starfish, snails, crabs and clams, but as he forages he comes across a startling sight. His heart pounds as he moves closer to an enormous breathing beast. Then he realises that he is looking at something remarkable: a giant squid. Miles becomes a celebrity and is pursued by TV crews who hope that this intelligent boy can make sense of the phenomenon. Meanwhile the sea continues to throw out mysteries from its depths, and his psychic friend Florence predicts that even more amazing discoveries will precede the highest tide in fifty years, and that this will hold life-changing events for Miles. But Miles has earth-locked problems. He fears that ageing Florence will be put in a home, that the passion for his dreadlocked ex-babysitter Angie will go unrequited, that his arguing parents will divorce, and that everything, even the bay, is shifting away from him. His goal this summer is to stop things from changing. This gripping story of obsession, beauty and the wonders of the sea intoxicates the reader with its humour and tragedy as a young boy comes of age in a summer never to be forgotten. *** Quantity Available: 1.
