Sheets by Brenna Thummler
5.0
emotional lighthearted sad

Wow, this book was phenomenal. I've read several middle-grade graphic novels with the theme of the main character meeting a ghost and the ghost helps them through a problem. But, this was my favorite one by far. It tackles grief so well and the illustrations are stunning. The use of pastel pink and blue was excellent and really flowed well with the story. 

Just a minor complaint that I had was that Marjorie is 13-years old running a laundromat by herself which felt really unrealistic since the customers gave her so much trouble. Also, the author didn't give any indicator to the time period yet I know this story isn't present day because of the clothing and house interior. 

I definitely want to re-read this in October, it's the perfect book to read in Autumn.
