About Firebloom by Justin Davies

For generations, Tally Smuck's family have had an affinity with the jellyfish that their island relies on. They provide light, medicinal balms, ointments, and, once a year, a fantastical lightshow – celebrated on the island as the Firebloom festival. None of it would be possible without the Smucks' special connection with the jellies. So, when Tally steps up to take her place in the Smuck family legacy, the last thing she's expecting is to get stung. . . Something is wrong – with her abilities, with the jellyfish (or the sudden lack of them!), and perhaps, with the island itself. With the success of the Firebloom festival resting on her, does Tally have what it takes to solve the mystery of the missing jellyfish, uncover the truth, and step into her own power?

From Scottish author Justin Davies, this is a fun and lively middle-grade adventure with a luminous cast of characters set in a seaside world that feels rich and real. With a core of friendship, community, and self-belief, Firebloom is a wonderful addition to any young person's library.
