Jelly

  Life has its ups and downs, doesn't it? And Martha and her friends are really sick of going up, and down, and up, and down ... 'Rees has managed, in her debut novel nonetheless, to capture the imagination and at the same time create a piece of dystopian fiction which is highly relatable.' MR BRUFF, BLOGGER '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.
