The Highest Tide, Jim Lynch, introduction




Raincoast Books :: podcasts :: show

Summary: Raincoast Books is proud to present a special podcast with Jim Lynch, author of The Highest Tide. The Highest Tide tells the story of thirteen-year-old Miles O’Malley who lives on Puget Sound and knows everything there is to know about the sea and its creatures. When he becomes the first person to sight a live giant squid he is hailed as some sort of prophet. The media descend and everyone wants to hear what Miles has to say. But Miles is just a self-described “increasingly horny, speed-reading thirteen-year-old insomniac” who navigates the mysterious world of adults as the strange events continue over the summer, culminating in the highest tide in 100 years. This is a clip from the forth-coming podcast. Jim's podcast was created in Vancouver during the Vancouver International Writers and Readers Festival.  Find out more about Jim' book at http://www.raincoast.com/highest-tide/index.html.  For more information about Raincoast books please visit www.raincoast.com.
