Marjorie Glatt feels like a ghost. A practical thirteen year old incharge of the family laundry business, her daily routine features unforgivingcustomers, unbearable P.E. classes, and the fastidious Mr. Saubertuck who iscommitted to destroying everything she's worked for. Wendell is aghost. A boy who lost his life much too young, his daily routine featuresineffective death therapy, a sheet-dependent identity, and a dangerous need toseek purpose in the forbidden human world. When their worlds collide,Marjorie is confronted by unexplainable disasters as Wendell transformsGlatt's Laundry into his midnight playground, appearing as a mere sheetduring the day. While Wendell attempts to create a new afterlife for himself, heunknowingly sabotages the life that Marjorie is struggling tomaintain. Sheets illustrates the determination of a young girl to fight,even when all parts of her world seem to be conspiring against her. It provesthat second chances are possible whether life feels over or life is over. Butabove all, it is a story of the forgiveness and unlikely friendship that canonly transpire inside a haunted laundromat. "Brenna Thummler's firstoriginal graphic novel is a reason to celebrate. She announced herself as anartist to reckon with when she illustrated Mariah Marsden's adaptation of Anneof Green Gables. Now she's illustrated her own story of ghosts and family,loneliness and laundromats. I'm sure you'll be captivated, and as eager as I amto see what comes next!"--Brian Selznick, author of Wonderstruck and TheInvention of Hugo Cabret

Read this GN last night after my friend let me borrow it. Now I have to get the other 2 from her. A sad but hopeful story about a girl who has lost her mom & a ghost who is lonely. Very creative story & great artwork. Relatable characters & am excited to read more about this world.

This story was really cute, but there was just something about it that didn't make it perfect to me. Maybe it was the art...I didn't care for the style, except for the ghosts. The ghosts were done well and turned out really adorable. I'll probably continue and read the next book.

Sweet concept and characters but waaaay over the top; the ludicrousness of the villainy and the abject misery of the reality don't sit together comfortably.

My second #Scarathlon book.

A fantastic book! Funny and heartfelt and sad.

This book reminds me of the term tragic optimism. Originally coined by a holocaust survivor, it refers to the way those experiencing traumatic loss can find deeper meaning and purpose amidst the broken pieces. The opposite of toxic positivity, it admits the hardships and grief we all inevitably face.

This book has some of that. It‘s also funny and very cute. (Meme image shared for levity.)

I‘ve been hearing about this forever so finally gave it a read. It‘s sad, and someone in town should say something about a 13 year old running a laundry by herself - and maybe check in on the depressed dad? Kudos to the gym teacher for at least asking if she‘d like to talk. Overall, it‘s okay. I‘ll read the next too though as I brought that home too 😎 #ISpyBingo: pastel cover @Clwojick

Marjorie is a thirteen-year-old with too much responsibility in the aftermath of her mother‘s death. A ghost, Wendell, helps her keep things together and is a much-needed friend. Really enjoyed this graphic novel. The follow-up, Delicates, is also good.

This is one of the cutest graphic novels I have read due to the illustrations and cute things the ghosts do. The basic lesson in the story is about friends. I mostly love the cute little ghost details and the fact that they just wander around in their sheet. They even had ghost police when Wendell got in trouble. I do have to say the author did such a great job in making one of the creepiest character with Mr Saubertuck

This was beautiful and sad but I would also like to slap the dad and file a police report on Nigel… what a creep!

I really liked the colour palette in this - it really amplified how Marjorie was feeling - grief, depression, overwhelmed but it‘s also really pretty - so there is also hope…

Cute middle grade fantasy graphic novel. Vibrant art style. Quick-paced plot told in broad strokes. There are some issues with transition between the two converging storylines, but it is completed in a way that will pass with the intended audience. It is cute and entertaining, but does not have a higher complexity to it that would indicate it needing the higher reading levels. Perfect for the lower middle grade audience.

I‘ve been wanting to read this for awhile. The cover is so cute. Marjorie is running the family laundromat because her Dad is paralyzed with grief. There‘s a villain and a cute 11-year old ghost. And it obviously takes place in a little Western PA town between Pittsburgh and Erie - which is where I live! I will have to be on the lookout for stray sheets! 👻 Book 2 coming up - Delicates #100YEARS100BOOKS #SERIES2021 #WinterRespite

My results for #24b4Monday. I only managed around 8 hours, and that was thanks to the fact that I recently realized that I can listen to an audiobook while pumping or feeding the baby! All in all, I suppose not a bad showing, considering I have an 8 week old...

Borrowed Splendid from the library on audio via Libby, and Sheets digitally from the library via hoopla! Like I dont have enough of my own books 🤦

After the loss of her mother, Majorie‘s father shuts down and she tries to manage the household and the family‘s laundromat on her own. Wendell is a ghost in a sheet and he accidentally creates problems for Marjorie at first. I love the color palette used in this graphic novel. The story is sad at first so the colors really suit it. I did think the villain was a little cheesy, but overall enjoyed this one. #screamathon

A pick- for this MG graphic novel. Marjorie‘s story, trying to cope with the death of her mother and her father‘s depression, was great. Wendell‘s story, as a new ghost not fitting in and escaping to the human world, could have used more depth. The villain was hard to swallow, thus the minus. Still a good (if not great) and quick read.

I realize that I forgot to post this one! To be quite honest, I loved this graphic novel. From the aesthetic and feel of the book to the story of loss, confidence, and triumph, I can't express in words just how much I loved it. I would even venture to say this might be on book that I would be willing to re-read again and again.

It was a good book. The illustrations were okay but what notched it up to a 3 was the Wendell and the ghosts. I absolutely loved all of them and their story more than the mopey sad girl one. I mean 95% of the book she is sad, mopey and not happy. Sigh. Ending was great, made up for the beginning of the book.
