Tides by Betsy Cornwell
"A satisfying mix of folktale, mystery, and family drama."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksWhen high school senior Noah Gallagher and his adopted teenage sister, Lo, go to live with their grandmother in her island cottage for the summer, they don't expect much in the way of adventure. Noah has landed a marine biology internship, and Lo wants to draw and paint, perhaps even to vanquish her struggles with bulimia. But then things take a dramatic turn for them both when Noah mistakenly tries to save a mysterious girl from drowning. This dreamlike, suspenseful story--deftly told from multiple points of view--dives deeply into selkie folklore while examining the fluid nature of love and family.
Tides, Mechanica, and The Forest Queen are among Betsy Cornwell's New York Times best-selling novels. She holds a master's degree in creative writing from Notre Dame and currently resides in Ireland with her family. Bettsy Cornwell's website is www.betsycornwell.com.
