I’m 10 and I like to read longer books as I get older. One book that caught my eye at Barnes & Noble was “The Thing About Jellyfish” by Ali Benjamin. You can get this book free through their Summer Reading Program.
So I plucked it off the shelf and as soon as I got home, I plopped down on the couch and settled down to read. After the first chapter, I was in the book completely.
I liked The Thing About Jellyfish because Suzy Swanson, the main character, is a quiet person. I’ve been reading a lot of books about quiet people lately, and they’re really good. Sometimes you feel like a book is going to be boring, and you don’t really want to read it. With The Thing About Jellyfish, that it is definitely not boring.
This book is about a girl named Suzy, whose friend died from drowning. Suzy wants to find out what happened, and ends up going on a trip to try to find answers. It is sad because she lost her good friend, and she wants to solve the mystery as to why her friend died.
There are lots of sad parts to this book, but there are so many great things that happen while Suzy is trying to solve the mystery of her friend’s death.
The book was very interesting and I couldn’t wait to see what happened at the end.
I highly recommend reading this book because it is great and it doesn’t have too many characters. Thank you, I hope you like the book!
The Thing About Jellyfish does sound like a terrific and interesting book to read. I do like the cover too.
I learned how to read very early. I’ve always enjoyed a good book and when I find out I often don’t stop reading until I’ve finished.
Sounds like a good book to read! I hope she does find out what happened to her friend. Dealing with death is always hard!
