A practical thirteen - year - old in charge of the family laundry business her daily routine features unforgiving customers unbearable P. E. classes and the fastidious Mr. Saubertuck who is committed to destroying everything she's worked for. Wendell is a ghost. A boy who lost his life much too young his daily routine features ineffective death therapy a sheet - dependent identity and a dangerous need to seek purpose in the forbidden human world. When their worlds collide Marjorie is confronted by unexplainable disasters as Wendell transforms Glatt's Laundry into his midnight playground appearing as a mere sheet during the day. While Wendell attempts to create a new afterlife for himself he unknowingly sabotages the life that Marjorie is struggling to maintain. Sheets illustrates the determination of a young girl to fight even when all parts of her world seem to be conspiring against her. It proves that second chances are possible whether life feels over or life is over. But above all it is a story of the forgiveness and unlikely friendship that can only transpire inside a haunted laundromat." Brenna Thummler's first original graphic novel is a reason to celebrate.
