The Thing About Jellyfish is the New York Times bestselling debut novel by Ali Benjamin — a National Book Award Finalist hailed as "a shining example of the highs and lows of early adolescence" that will touch readers of all ages in the most unexpected ways.
Suzy Swanson has always known things that other kids don't. She can explain the sleep patterns of ants, knows there are 150 million jellyfish stings on the planet every year, and that the average middle school kid contains about 20 billion of Shakespeare's atoms. But she can't understand how Franny Jackson's lifetime could be cut so short… before Suzy could make up for the worst thing she'd ever done to her best friend.
When Suzy formulates a bold plan to travel across the globe — alone — to learn the truth about how her friend died, she discovers that the answers she most needs could be right in her own backyard.

Made for everyday life
To make life easier, but still keeping it cute.
If it's itchy, stiff, or complicated, it doesn't make the cut. We pick things that are fashionable, trendy, but also easy to put on, easy to use and feel good the moment you use them, so you can stop managing your day and start enjoying it.
Why we pick it
Self-care isn't lazy. It's a life strategy.
We choose things that make an ordinary day a little better and your evening wind-down more relaxing. Not a bucket list. Not a vacation. Just a good cup, a soft layer, a quiet ten minutes or some time with your pet. Joy counts, even when it's small.
Life's treasure
Our purpose is simple.
Slow mornings, puppy cuddles, and “just one more episode” evenings.We believe self-care belongs in everyday life, not just on special occasions. That’s why TE&A Treasures brings together finds for you, your home, and the pets who make it happier. Make room for comfort, express your personality, and enjoy the little moments with your favorite people and paws.
