The Thing About Jellyfish

De: Ali Benjamin

Narrado por: Sarah Franco

A stunning debut about how grief can open the world in magical ways.

After her best friend dies in a drowning accident, Suzy is convinced that the true cause of the tragedy was a rare jellyfish sting. Retreating into a silent world of imagination, she crafts a plan to prove her theory - even if it means traveling the globe alone. Suzy's achingly heartfelt journey explores life, death, the astonishing wonder of the universe...and the potential for love and hope right next door.

One of my favorites!😄😃

This book is so good I would totally recommend it. I was hoping that she would get to slow dance with Justin though. Totally in my top 5

Heart warming story

I love this story it was my first audible and I am glad I chose this story, it shows how much Suzy needs a friend, and that she just needs to let go of what happened to franny.

LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

..... welp I loved it so like- I do not know what else I can say....

How real the people felt and how you can connect to them.

I liked how the story line was not to hard to follow but I did not like how Ashely and her friends could not try to be understanding.

just read it

there's nothing wrong about the story.
there are better stories out there but this one still one you should read/listen.

The best book I've ever read!

I'm not a big reader but this book made me love reading. I recommend it to all kids.
