A very cute story of two characters dealing with death and grief. Marjorie is dealing with a lot as a middle schooler. Her mom has recently died, her dad has locked himself away in his bedroom, and she has to run her family's small town laundromat. Wendell is a young restless spirit who doesn't want to be dead and has a penchant for exaggerating stories. When Wendell winds up at Marjorie's laundromat he causes some minor chaos for her and pushes Marjorie to her breaking point. The poor girl is really struggling and is really going unnoticed by the adults in her life. Thankfully, the ghosts help save her 'spirit.'
