The Highest Tide by Jim Lynch (Bloomsbury, $13.95) tells the story of an insomniac, speed-reading, Rachel Carson obsessed thirteen year old who observes changes in the natural world throughout a wild coming-of-age summer. Great for adults and teens alike, The Highest Tide has been a favorite of book clubs, and was picked by the American Library Association as one of the best adult books for teens.
