About Firebloom

‘Stuffed to the gills with adventure, heart and jellyfish. Last one to read is a squelchy sea slug!’
— Maria Kuzniar, author of The Ship of Shadows Series

‘A sweet, compassionate adventure about communities, courage and… jellyfish. Justin is a splendid world builder with warm, rounded characters including Tally’s Granddad and his husband, Mandad.’
— Patrice Lawrence, author of Orangeboy

Tally Smuck is destined to become a Sting Winkler — someone who can communicate with jellyfish.

But as visitors flock to her island’s famous festival, there’s no sign of Tally’s vital powers, or the light-and-life-giving sea creatures they’ve come to see…

Can Tally and her friends solve the mystery of the missing jellyfish and stop the island from being plunged into darkness for good?
