Descriptions

SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL -- Gr 6 Up-Struggling to cope after the death of her mother, Marjorie has to look after her father, who has depression, and her little brother; attend high school; and run the family laundromat business, where they all live and work. At school, other classmates bully her, and a pushy man is eager to take over the laundromat. And as if this isn't enough, young Wendell, a ghost who is unhappy being dead and surrounded by other spirits, haunts Marjorie and her business. The characters are distinct, and the villain is delightfully vile and self-absorbed. The ghosts, who must wear sheets to be visible, are every bit as sympathetic as the humans. The artwork is charming, and the backgrounds are lovingly detailed, with amusing and often punny elements. The contrast between Marjorie's warm, candy-colored world and Wendell's stark, monochrome Land of Ghosts adds life (and death) and dimension to the story. Panels vary in size, which enriches the narrative. VERDICT This heartfelt, lingering tale of friendship, family, and forgiveness will captivate children and adults alike, especially those who have experienced loss.-Kelley Gile, Cheshire Public Library, CTBOOK RIOT -- If you're looking for an adorable graphic novel that has the same color scheme and tranquility as a Steven Universe episode, look no further. Sheets is a beautifully written and illustrated novel following a girl named Majorie who works at her family's laundromat in a sleepy, autumnal town. One day, she happens upon an abandoned sheet that happens to be Wendell, a ghost who innocently haunts her family's business. Full of pastel colors, a captivating art style, and an even cuter storyline about a girl and a ghost coexisting under one roof, Sheets is a story that will warm the heart of any reader, big or small.GOOD COMICS FOR KIDS BLOG (SLJ) -- Marjorie is trying to keep the family business, a laundromat, together. Her mother passed away, and Dad has mostly checked out. She has to cope with self-centered customers and a pushy, smarmy neighborhood businessman. Then the ghosts appear.The spirits all look like the classic children's image, white sheets with a rounded top for a head. But they go to support groups to try and accept how they died, and their world is notably less colorful than Marjorie's. The imaginative Wendell isn't ready for that, so he finds Marjorie's laundromat, which feels like a spa for his sheet.Thummler's style isn't as smooth and simplified as some of the most popular graphic novels for kids. Her lines have more options, more of a sense of uncertainty that works well with Marjorie's struggles. It can mean getting lost in some panels, where the key item isn't immediately visible. Instead of clearly drawing the eye through the story, Thummler's work wanders, and the faces sometimes look odd.SheetsThe pacing could also be improved. Lengthy sections move through day-to-day detail, showing the ennui of Marjorie's existence. The story could have been tig
