Sheets is a bittersweet story of loneliness, and finding friendship.
The artwork is done in cotton candy pastels of blues and pinks and yet still manages to convey the right emotions to fit the scene. The faces are a bit strange but the rest of the illustration is beautiful. The story jumps back and forth from the point of view, but is consistent with the color so it doesn't really throw off the reader. While the ghosts are adorable, and Marjorie certainly brings out the worst of middle school memories for us, the story doesn't have enough staying power to make this a memorable read. The supporting characters could have used more fleshing out, but given the constraints of a graphic novel, is understandable. While the story is sometimes heart-wrenching, it does have a happy ending where the story resolution is tied up neatly in a bow.
It is probably suited for pre-teens. Although it touches on some darker themes (death, depression, drinking, bullying), I don't know that older teens would really enjoy the story line. Bottom line: read it for the artwork and give a little grace for the story.
