Sheets

I appreciated the lack of pretension in this graphic novel. Some graphic novels feel like they are trying to be cool and edgy but this one felt very genuine. I appreciated the subtle humor and the nod to the struggle with grief, as well as the creativity in the story, the characters, and illustrations. The only thing I would rate it down for was the story's climax, which felt rushed. The conflict was built up nicely only to be solved very quickly. Other than that I loved it.

I enjoyed this until the very end, where the pacing went from 50 mph to 100 in 2 pages. In other words, the author had a steady pace with the story line going on, but at the very end, she decided to push all the action into 2 or 3 pages, it seemed. I think the story would have been better served with more details at the end.

I enjoyed the illustrations and the story line and would recommend it to others. Just know, the ending might not be as satisfying as the rest of the book.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this little book. Wendall is so cute and it is almost heartwarming the way that it is rendered and narrated. It is the soft colored by highly detailed pictures that sold me on the story. I think I would buy it just for that and keep in on my shelf. The story is cute and bittersweet, a bit light and childish, but cute nonetheless. The story works. I would recommend for a precocious middle schooler who is being introduced to the gorgeous world of graphic novels.

This was amazing and the artist is FANTASTIC

A young girl running a business by herself to keep her family afloat after the death of her mother and up against cruel and nefarious interests gets help from some unlikely friends #Sheets #NetGalley

Did anyone get a Pigpen as a ghost vibe when reading this book?


This is about a girl who hates ghosts and laundry. This book has a character who lost her mother, is lonely, runs her own business to support her family, AND is being harassed by some snob to sell it to him. This seems like the slice of life I would tend to enjoy with a paranormal/fantasy element, although something was missing for me here. I wanted more pages to this book give me more with the characters.

The art is nice in this book and the color pallet for the panels is so lovely! Great read for the beginning of Oct! ~Ashley


If you liked this I recommend Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier

So cute and wholesome.

I really adore these illustrations, the style, the fall landscape scenes. This work was so stunning and such a sweet story.

I need some ghosturizer

I loathe Mr Saubertuck

I picked this up at the library mainly because of the cover thinking it was going to be just a short cute graphic novel on ghosts and laundry... BOY WAS I WRONG! 

This explored themes like grieving, coming of age, family, and death of a parent. 

Getting into the story initially was rough, but once we get into the life of Marjorie, our FMC, and how she is trying to hold together her school life, and life at home after the death of her mother. During all this she is taking care of her family's laundromat, her brother who just started kindergarten, and her father who is basically withdrawing from his children.

This entire story was completely unexpected. Now that I'm reflecting I loved that I went in completely blind, and just wanted to read based off the cute deceptive cover lol. 

Plot przewidywalny i trochę za słabo rozwinięty ale kreska

This was so sweet. The ending made me cry and think that maybe i need to make friends

An enchanting and wholesome story about grief, depression, loneliness and how friendship helps healing, told as a beautiful illustrated graphic novel.

Sheets is the story of Marjorie, who lost her mother and is carrying a lot of her family weight, and Wendell, who died to young and does not accept his ghostly situation.

A moving story full of all types of ghosts.

I would like to thank Oni Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

“It's difficult to list, in order, the
things I hate But I can say with no
uncertainty that laundry and ghosts
are currently tied for first.”

This was such a beautiful story. There were themes of grief that were done really well. The story is also adorable, I only wish there was more

I loved every single thing about this graphic novel and I can't wait to actually buy it to add to my collection. I already downloaded volume 2, Delicates.

From the beginning I related to Marjorie, while I haven't lost a parent, I do know what it's like to feel like nothing goes right. The dynamic between Wendell and Marjorie was adorable and I enjoyed their interaction with each other. It seemed like they were brother and sister the way they fought due to the constant miscommunication. Marjorie's father needed to get his life together. His daughter is doing everything at the laundromat, trying to save it while going to school AND trying to grieve as well? Hopefully in the next installment they all get some therapy.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

i. am. RUINED.
like this story ruined me.
i thought this was going to be a fun, light-hearted story.
i truly went into this blind.
it tore my heart apart and then picked up all the pieces and handed them to me to piece back together myself.
i loved it.
i hated it.
i will never pick it up again.
but i will remember it forever.

this story immediately made its way into my heart. i don't have anything productive to say, i would just be gushing about it. 
the ending felt a little bit rushed but otherwise it was perfect

such a sweet, spooky middle grade graphic novel that tackles some important issues 

This is a fun and cute graphic novel with a somewhat sad little story. I needed to get used to the art style a bit but I really enjoyed this!!

The artwork was different and I liked the overall premise of the book. Family has just lost mom and everyone is struggling with the loss in their own way. Problem is that dad has checked out, little brother is acting out and big sis has to take care of the family business and the family home. On top of that, big sis has to deal with teenage woes. Then one day, big sis meets a friendly ghost.

This book was too hyped up for me to enjoy it :( the ending felt quite abrupt and the loose ends did not tie up well for me. But it was such a simple story that I can't complain. The artwork was also kinda not so cute which.. um... so yea, 3 stars only..

First, read of the year! Woohoo!
This was a sweet graphic novel, I loved it! The art style the feel, were all...ah. The MC girl is in grief and is very monotonous in the beginning but meeting that ghost, kinda changed her! It was sweet that she worked (owned) a laundry shop, I don't see that often, lol. I don't know what to say without spoiling anything, but I liked the ghosts a lot! i recommend this sweet comic to all, I bet you won't be disappointed!

I thought this story was really cute.

A simple story that really shows how despite sadness in your life, you can find a path forward.

Make me cry.

3.25 stars Cute story. The colours used are beautiful but I wasn't a fan of the art style in general.
