Thing About Jellyfish

Suzy is 12 when her best friend Franny drowns one summer at the beach. It takes two days for the news to reach her and its not something that she can accept: Franny has always been a strong swimmer from the day they met in swim class when they were just 5. How can someone all of a sudden just no longer be there? Suzy realises that they must have got it wrong: Franny didnt just drown - she was stung by a poisonous jellyfish. This makes a lot more sense to Suzys logical mind than a random drowning. Suzys journey to acceptance is quiet. She resolves to either say something important or say nothing at all. But its also bursting with bittersweet humour heart-breaking honesty big ideas and small details.
