Book 53: The Highest Tide by Jim Lynch


This was a great book - quite short, a sort of coming of age type story, with a lot about marine life and environmental issues (a bit). A young teenage boy finds a giant squid washed up in the bay near his home in the Pacific northwest; this is the story of what happens next - along with the story of his various friends (he's a bit of an outsider, so his friends are extremely various), over the course of his summer. I really enjoyed it. And yes, I did read it in more or less a single day - but then again, I did spend over 7 hours on trains over the course of the weekend!
