Every firefly in the grove carries a story that was never finished.
After her mother's sudden death, twelve-year-old Nell Whitlow wanders into a forest she's never dared enter. There, hidden beyond the trees, lies a secret grove glowing with thousands of fireflies. But these aren't just insects, they're souls. People who died with something left unsaid.
Nell is the only one who can hear them. As she listens to the voices, a bitter mother, a missing girl, a boy who never came home... she begins to change. Her skin glows. Her breath flickers. And with each story she carries, the grove begins to claim her.
Some voices want peace. Some want to be rewritten. And one glows brighter than the rest... someone Nell never thought she'd hear again.
Why Do Fireflies Die So Soon? is a haunting, lyrical middle grade novel about grief, memory, and the quiet magic of truly being heard. It's a story for anyone who's ever lost someone, or wished for one more moment to say what was left unsaid.
