“In Benjamin's debut, 13-year-old Suzy learns that jellyfish are quite like friendships: delicate, and sometimes dangerous for your heart. Suzy and her best friend, Franny, are in the middle of a painful estrangement when she learns of Franny's death. The shocking news leaves Suzy sad, angry, and, perhaps most of all, disbelieving. Convinced that Franny, a talented swimmer, could never have drowned, Suzy becomes obsessed with proving that a freak jellyfish sting was the true catalyst for her death. Readers will feel deeply for the determined Suzy and her struggle to cope with her grief and guilt. Subtle use of the scientific method and jellyfish research provide a fascinating element to this tender tale.”
