review:
'Sheets' by Brenna Thummler is a graphic novel about grief, ghosts and what one girl has to do to get through it all.

Marjorie Glatt has lost her mother in a swimming accident. She takes care of her younger sibling, who seems to be fine, and her father, who is really not fine. She also takes care of the families laundry business which is teetering on hard times. A weird local named Mr. Saubertuck seems to have eyes on the business, and the ghost of a boy is hanging around causing problems. At 13, this is a lot to handle for Marjorie, who also feels pretty disconnected and invisible to the world around her.

I liked this story of grief and loss and fighting back. Marjorie seems to be a victim for a bit of the story, but that changes. The art has an almost pastel coloring to it that makes everything seem softer. I liked the art enough for this story. I really liked the tone of the story and what the story said, but the ghost world seemed a little too childlike in how it was portrayed.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Lion Forge, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
