"A deeply moving meditation on disability, diversity, and joy."--Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

"One of the most beautiful graphic novels I've ever read... The Jellyfish is exquisite." --Kate Leth, author of Mall Goth

"What an accomplishment This book is beautiful... I loved this character and this story " --Lucy Knisley, author of Relish

Odette is a twenty-something year old with their own place, a steady job at a local bookstore, an adorable pet rabbit, and a budding crush on one of their customers. But Odette is haunted by something only they can see: a jellyfish that's floating in their eye, blocking their vision. It's a seemingly minor annoyance...until the jellyfish starts multiplying.

Showcasing stunning and inventive artwork by Boum (Boumeries), The Jellyfish is a tour-de-force of graphic storytelling, a powerful, occasionally terrifying story of facing the thing that we fear the most and finding a light to guide us through the darkness.
