The transition to middle school, shifts in friends, and romantic interests create a rift between the two girls who had been best friends for years. What complicates Suzy's feeling about her friend's death is that when she died, they weren't really friends anymore.

Why I liked it: In The Thing About Jellyfish, Suzy can't believe her friend Franny's death was just a freak accident since Franny was a swimmer, Suzy is convinced that something more specific must have caused her death and becomes fixated on researching deadly jellyfish to the point where she plans a trip across the globe to consult with an expert. Suzy's achingly heartfelt journey explores life, death, the astonishing wonder of the universe.and the potential for love and hope right next door. Retreating into a silent world of imagination, she crafts a plan to prove her theory-even if it means traveling the globe, alone. After her best friend dies in a drowning accident, Suzy is convinced that the true cause of the tragedy was a rare jellyfish sting. The basic plot from Amazon: Everyone says that it was an accident.
