Marjorie Glatt, a 13-year-old girl who lost her mom, faces tough times with resilience while taking charge of her family's laundry business—talk about independence! On the flip side, Mr. Saubertuck is dead set on ruining everything she's worked hard for.
Now, here's where it gets wild—a friendly ghost named Wendell is on a quirky mission to find purpose in the human world, and his ghostly adventures will crack you up. Interestingly, Marjorie's hate list currently has two things tied for first place—laundry and... ghosts. So, what will happen when Wendell and Marjorie finally cross paths?
Sheets handles tough topics impressively, making it a heartwarming read that'll tug at your heartstrings. The author's remarkable talent shines through the storytelling and artwork, leaving me in awe. The illustrations are exquisitely detailed, and the color palette is delightful. What's more, the thoughtfully designed layout enhances the overall reading experience, making it even more enjoyable. It's amazing to learn that this is Brenna Thummler's first solo book—what an incredible debut!
Sheets is not just a fun read; it's a poignant exploration of themes appealing to readers of all ages. Whether you're looking for a meaningful graphic novel, this is a must-add to your reading list.

Currently in my graphic novel era and I’m not slowing down! This is a quick and wholesome read, the art is stunning but the story is just a bit one dimensional. Wish we would’ve dove a little deeper but I think the target audience is likely middle grade / YA
