Description
Suzy is twelve when her best friend Franny drowns at the beach. It takes two days for the news to reach Suzy, and it's not something she can accept: Franny was always a strong swimmer. How can someone suddenly be gone? Suzy realizes that they must have got it wrong - Franny didn't just drown, but was stung by a poisonous jellyfish. Suzy's journey to acceptance is quiet, yet bursting with bittersweet humour and heart-breaking honesty. She resolves to either say something important or say nothing at all. This astonishing debut novel explores big ideas and small details in a story that will resonate with readers who appreciate honest and thought-provoking fiction. Ali Benjamin's The Thing About Jellyfish is a powerful exploration of grief, loss, and the complexities of human relationships.
