The Thing About Jellyfish
by
by
Grades 5-8. Suzy, a 7th grader, is navigating school social and family changes after the death of her best friend. Convinced that the only cause of death was a rare jellyfish, she turns all her energy and thoughts to obsessive research and stops talking altogether.
The unresolved relationship and grief ring true. Benjamin does a great job getting into a middle schooler's head. I fell in love with the characters. I cried (which I never do!). Wonderful book.
