“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.
