A cute, hard-hitting, whimsical entry into the world of <i>Sheets</i> by Brenna Thummler. Enter Marjorie, a 13 year-old girl who takes over her mother's laundromat after her passing, when her father can't. When she gets bullied, and their family is in danger of losing not only her mother's laundromat, but their home, fate. intertwines her with Wendall. Wendall, an 11 year-old kid ghost, gets into mischief and breaks every single ghost world rule. Will fate overcome Marjorie's path or come save everything?

I don't think I've ever had a graphic novel that left me feeling this way. <i>Sheets</i> hits hard with so many different topics, and comes at it in such a way that will forever leave an imprint on you. The way that Thummler deals with topics like depression, grief, loss, bullying, and more, is extremely well done.

However, I feel like parts of this went very slow, and near the end, went very fast. And don't even get me started on HIM.

A HUGE shoutout to the artist, Brenna, because these illustrations are so gorgeous.
