Sheets
by Brenna Thummler
A beautifully drawn, quiet story about a teen girl managing her family's laundromat after the death of her mother. She lives upstairs from the washers and driers with a younger brother and a father nearly incapacitated by grief. Marjorie is doing the best that she can, but she's only 13- and a smarmy businessman is pressuring her to sell the building to him so he can build a five-star yoga retreat in its place. She is unprepared for the appearance of a real ghost, wearing a real sheet. Marjorie already has enough sheet-related problems in her life, but now she has one more. This book felt a little soft, and at times silly, but I do think it's good to have books about grief that are easier to approach, especially for younger readers.
