    Smart, sublime, and wickedly clever, The Smash-Up captures—then transcends—our current polarized moment “An exhilarating ride . . . hilarious . . . a modern and energetic story about a marriage on the skids.”—The New York Times Ethan has always been one of the good guys, and for years, nobody has appreciated this fact more than his wife, Zo. Until now. Jolted into activism by the 2016 election, Zo’s transformed their home into the headquarters for the local resistance, turning their comfortable decades-long marriage inside-out. Meanwhile, their boisterous daughter, Alex, grows wilder by the day. Ethan’s former business partner needs help saving the media company they’d co-founded. Financial disaster looms. Enter a breezy, blue-haired millennial making her way through the gig economy. Suddenly Ethan faces a choice unlike any he’s ever had to make. Unfolding over fivet urbulent days in 2018, The Smash-Up wrestles shrewdly with some of the biggest questions of our time: What, exactly, does it mean to be a good guy? What will it take for men to break the “bro code”? How does the world respond when a woman demands more?  Can we ever understand another''s experiences… and what are the consequences of failing to try? Moving, funny, and cathartic, this portrait of a marriage—and a nation—under strain is, ultimately, a magic trick of empathy, one that will make you laugh and squirm until its final, breathless pages.

    It's peculiar how no-words can be better than words. How silence can say more than noise, or a person's absence can occupy even more space than their presence did. Suzy is twelve when her best friend, Franny, drowns one summer at the beach. It takes two days for the news to reach Suzy, and it's not something that she can accept: Franny has always been a strong swimmer, from the day they met in swim class when they were just five. How can someone all of a sudden, just no longer be there?Suzy realizes that they must have got it wrong: Franny didn't just drown - she was stung by a poisonous jellyfish. This makes a lot more sense to Suzy's logical mind than a random drowning - cause: a jellyfish sting; effect: death. Suzy's journey to acceptance is quiet - she resolves to either say something important, or say nothing at all. But it's also bursting with bittersweet humour, heart-breaking honesty, big ideas and small details. The Thing About Jellyfish is an astonishing debut novel from Ali Benjamin, and is perfect for fans of Wonder, Counting By 7s and My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece.

    Varm og rørende roman til mellemgruppen om gopler og stjernestøv, men også venskab, håb og tilgivelse.Nogle hjerter slår kun omkring 412 millioner gange. Hvilket kan lyde af ret meget. Men faktisk bliver det ikke engang til 12 år.Suzy Swanson (Zu) har altid vidst ting, som andre ikke ved. Hun kan redegøre for myrers søvnmønstre. Hun ved, at der er 150 millioner mennesker på verdensplan, der hvert år bliver forbrændt af gopler. Hun ved, at det gennemsnitlige skolebarn har omkring 20 milliarder af Shakespeares atomer i sig. Men hun kan ikke forstå, hvorfor Franny Jacksons liv skulle slutte så tidligt ... inden Zu fik undskyldt for det værste, hun nogensinde havde gjort mod sin bedste veninde.Zu og Stjernestøvet undersøger i øjenhøjde med den unge læser det skelsættende øjeblik, hvor vi for første gang indser, at ikke alle historier har en lykkelig slutning. Men at nye historier heldigvis venter på at udfolde sig - og at de nogle gange er lige uden for vores egen dør. Hvis bare vi tør åbne den.Romanen var blandt de nominerede til Goodreads' læserpris Bedste bog til mellemgruppen 2015 og er blandt de nominerede til den prestigefyldte UKLA Book Award 2016, hvor lærere og skolebibliotekarer shortlister årets bedste udgivelser. Bogen er foreløbigt solgt til udgivelse i 21 lande.
