Sheets

Descriere

For days after reading Brenna Thummler's Sheets n I have been wandering my neighborhood, haunted, enchanted, and in need of n freshly pressed clothing. -Lemony n Snicket n n Marjorie Glatt feels like a ghost. A n practical thirteen-year-old in charge of the family laundry business, her daily n routine features unforgiving customers, unbearable P.E. classes, and the n fastidious Mr. Saubertuck who is committed to destroying everything she's worked n for. n n Wendell is a ghost. A boy who lost his n life much too young, his daily routine features ineffective death therapy, a n sheet-dependent identity, and a dangerous need to seek purpose in the forbidden n human world. n n When their worlds collide, n Marjorie is confronted by unexplainable disasters as Wendell transforms Glatt's n Laundry into his midnight playground, appearing as a mere sheet during the day. n While Wendell attempts to create a new afterlife for himself, he unknowingly n sabotages the life that Marjorie is struggling to n maintain. n n Sheets illustrates the n determination of a young girl to fight, even when all parts of her world seem to n be conspiring against her. It proves that second chances are possible whether n life feels over or life is over. But above all, it is a story of the forgiveness n and unlikely friendship that can only transpire inside a haunted n laundromat. n n Brenna Thummler's first original n graphic novel is a reason to celebrate. She announced herself as an artist to n reckon with when she illustrated Mariah Marsden's adaptation of Anne of Green n Gables. Now she's illustrated her own story of ghosts and family, loneliness and n laundromats. I'm sure you'll be captiv
