520    A mesmerizing, allegorical, and beautifully wrought first 
       novel about one boy's fascination with the sea during the 
       summer that will change his life. One moonlit night, 
       thirteen-year-old Miles O'Malley slips out of his house, 
       packs up his kayak and goes exploring on the flats of 
       Puget Sound. But what begins as an ordinary hunt for 
       starfish, snails, and clams is soon transformed by an 
       astonishing sight: a beached giant squid. As the first 
       person to ever see a giant squid alive, the speed-reading 
       Rachel Carson-obsessed insomniac instantly becomes a local
       curiosity. When he later finds a rare deepwater fish in 
       the tidal waters by his home, and saves a dog from 
       drowning, he is hailed as a prophet. The media hovers and 
       everyone wants to hear what Miles has to say. But Miles is
       really just a teenager 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. While 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. In this mesmerizing, beautifully wrought first
       novel, we witness the dramatic sea change for both Miles 
       and the coastline that he adores over the course of a 
       summer - one that will culminate with the highest tide in 
       fifty years.
