Oh this book was so sad but so good at the same time. If you need an easy and fast read that will make you cry, this is the book for you. The Thing About Jellyfish is a middle grade novel that explores death and grief through the eyes of a twelve year old as she tries to figure out and understand the death of a classmate. I loved the main character, Suzy, and learned a lot about jellyfish in the process of reading this book.
