In stunning prose, author Jim Lynch puts sea life into a kaleidoscope where swirling shapes burst and reconfigure in continuous life-affirming wonder The balance of elegance, groundedness and style is remarkable. "San Francisco Chronicle"
An irresistible coming-of-age fable, dappled with lyricism, briny honesty and good humor. It's as if Carson herself (or, say, John McPhee) had turned to fiction, bringing an exacting sense of the ebb and flow of nature to the story of one largely unsupervised boy and the exploration of his surroundings. "Los Angeles Times"
Unforgettable [A] classic coming-of-age story, told with wry wit and quirky mating-marine-life facts. "Seattle Times"
The fertile strangeness of marine tidal life becomes a subtly executed metaphor for the bewilderments of adolescence in this tender and authentic coming-of-age novel. "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
Nerdy, vulnerable, obsessive, pure, Miles has a flavor about him of Christopher in "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" Above all the book is blessed by a genuine sense of wonder. "Miami Herald"
Wryly funny, achingly sad and endearingly hopeful the kind of book you can't put down, and the kind you'll pick up again. "Denver Post""
