My thoughts about the children's literature that I read which hopefully help my K-5 students and parents find a great book

The Thing About Jellyfish
This novel by Ali Benjamin is a bit mature in content. I would suggest a middle-school reader. The main character has lost her best friend and Suzi can not accept that. She needs a better reason that she died. Their last exchange was horrible and she is wracked with guilt and sadness. She stops talking. She starts on a quest to make sense of the senseless. It is a sad story of grief and coming to terms with the death of a loved one.
