The Thing About Jellyfish meets Raymie Nightingale in this tender middle grade novel from Lisa Jenn Bigelow, acclaimed author of Drum Roll, Please.
Hazel knows a lot about the world. That´s because when she´s not hanging with her best friend, taking care of her dog, or helping care for the goats on her family´s farm, she loves reading through dusty encyclopedias.
But even Hazel doesn´t have answers for the questions awaiting her as she enters eighth grade. What if no one at her new school gets her, and she doesn´t make any friends? What´s going to happen to one of her moms, who´s pregnant again after having two miscarriages? Why does everything have to change when life was already perfectly fine?
As Hazel struggles to cope, she´ll come to realize that sometimes you have to look within yourself--instead of the pages of a book--to find the answer to life´s most important questions.
