Description
Twelve-year-old Gussie was born with a rare heart disease, but her curiosity has never been held back. When she reads about the Burying Beetle, which buries dead animals by digging away the earth beneath them, it becomes her mission to find one. As she searches the Cornish coast for this elusive insect, Gussie learns that life is like the Burying Beetle - sometimes you have to dig deep to move on. Gussie's search takes her along the rugged coastline, where the sea meets the land in a dramatic display of power and beauty. Her journey is not just about finding the Burying Beetle, but also about learning to let go of things that are holding her back. This poignant story explores themes of grief, loss, and resilience, as Gussie comes to terms with her own mortality and finds a way to live with it.
