About the book

The brand-new deluxe hardcover edition of Sheets features never-before-seen content from the beloved graphic novel from Brenna Thummler.

A 2018 Barnes & Noble Best Book
A 2021 Amazon Teacher's Pick

For Marjorie Glatt, being thirteen years old isn't quite the same as it is for everyone else. Responsible for running her family's laundromat while trying to survive middle school, Marjorie's daily struggles include persnickety customers, snippy classmates, agonizing swim lessons, and laundry... always, always laundry.

Wendell is a bit different, too. Wendell is a ghost. His daily struggles include Dead Youth support groups and unavoidable stains. But when he escapes from the Land of Ghosts and bumbles into Marjorie's laundromat--the perfect ghost playground--his attempts at fun and friendship begin to harm the family business.

Sheets is a powerful story about a young girl's perseverance, even when all the odds are stacked against her. It shows that forgiveness and second chances can result in unlikely friendships. Above all, it is an invitation into an unusual, haunted laundromat that brings family, friends, and--yes--sheets to life.

    Sheets ist ein sanfter, liebevoll gezeichneter Comic über Trauer, Einsamkeit und Freundschaft – mit einem kleinen Geist im Bettlaken als heimlichem Star. Die Geschichte ist ruhig und emotional, mit zarten Farben und schönem Zeichenstil. Auch wenn sie sehr simpel erzählt ist, hat sie mich berührt und nachdenklich gemacht. Perfekt für ein ruhiges Lesewochenende oder einen melancholischen Tag. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, auch die Folgebände bald zu lesen.

    Slow and painful beginning, but lovely in the end.

    Wendell, the young ghost, is feeling like an outsider. So he jumps on a train and ends up in a human town where he meets 13 yo Marjorie, who has taken up being the head of her family after her mother's death. Her father struggles with depression and her younger brother seems to be elsewhere with his mind. Marjorie rakes care of both of them, and school, while also working at her family's laundromat to keep them going. The laundromat that Mr Saubertuck is trying to convert into a 5-star yoga-spa-retreat. When I saw the cute cover of this graphic novel I honestly did not expect such a painful little story about two kids lost, a father's depression, bullying, and what-not. I anticipated cute shenanigans by a ghost. In the end the novel did pull quite a few heartstrings, in a very satisfying way.
