‘An original and surreal take on teen dystopia.’ THE BOOKSELLER
After a traumatic event that no one can talk about or remember, they’re stuck on a giant killer jellyfish, tantalizingly close to the shore and safety. They’ve had enough of it. They’ve decided that they’re either going to escape, or die trying. Shortlisted for the Times/Chicken House Children’s Fiction Competition, this funny, touching and surreal debut is like nothing you’ve read before. Speculative YA about relationships and teenage friendships. Set largely on the back of a giant jellyfish, floating in a struggling, absurd world.
