THE THING ABOUT
JELLYFISH by Ali Benjamin, Little, Brown & Company 2015
The first place I
visit in an aquarium is the jellyfish tank. They mesmerize me. I am not the
only one affected this way, apparently.
Suzy Swanson is in 7th
grade, grieving the loss of her best friend in more ways than one. As the story
unfolds, the reader sees that Suzy’s best friend left many months before, long
before her sudden drowning. This is about grief and growing through and up
because of it.
You will learn a lot
about jellyfish, among other things.
A quote from this
book will always be with me: “We are made of stardust.”
