Sheets
by Brenna Thummler
Full review on: Flipping Through the Pages
Sheets is a cute and heartwarming story. When I first saw the book, I was expecting a funny story but the story was much stronger and serious. This is a story about a young girl Marjorie who has been left alone to run her family’s laundromat after the death of her mother. Her father is too lost in grieving. Marjorie was struggling to save her laundry from the wicked neighbor who wanted to acquire it. her laundry suddenly a ghost starts to haunt the laundry.
I liked the plot very much. From the starting, we can see the struggles of a young girl managing her school and family business while also handling a selfish neighbor. The story will definitely make you emotional. When Wendell, the ghost, enters into the story it becomes more interesting. The story is basically about grief and unlikely friendships and about the determination to move forward even in the worst conditions.
The artwork is the highlight of this book which is definitely better than the story itself. I like how the author has designed Wendell, as a sheet. It was something fresh to see. I really like the color palette that has been used which is mostly pastel.
The story is little slow in the beginning considering how it focuses on Marjorie and how she feels and thus we get to know about Wendell a little later. Also, it takes some time to understand the ghost world properly.
Overall, this is an adorable graphic novel which is hard to resist. I would definitely recommend it.
