This is a really good story with amazing illustrations. It was good for me but I could see how it would be even more meaningful for someone else. Enjoyable and highly recommended. Moving and touching. I would read more!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy.

This is a reread for me. It’s so cute but hits me in the feels just like it did the first time around.

Lord, this was the saddest, sweetest, cutest graphic novel I've seen I'm a very long time or possibly ever. It broke my heart and made me smile at the same time. I really can't wait to read the next one!

A brilliant start to a series - featuring such beautiful artwork and an equally beautiful story. I have a soft spot for Wendell and would love to know more of his story. It was really fun to see the two characters come together.

Big thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for providing an ARC for free, in exchange for an honest review.
I give this comic 4 stars and with that I recommend it with a good heart to everyone who wants to read a beautifully drawn comic about ghosts and laundry and detergent and depression and loneliness and grief.

Let's start with the positives:
+ the style of the drawings is unique and beautiful, I really enjoyed the color scheme and how it fitted the story's general mood
+ it had some original, wonderful and deep thoughts that's worth contemplating about
+ I absolutely felt the angst and other moods it obviously aimed to provide
+ even though the story is about grief and loneliness, it had some funny moments which helped to create a good balance instead of just moping the whole time

And now talk about some points where there might be room for improvement:
- despite absolutely loving the drawings, I honestly disliked the faces. Nothing else, but the faces. Too weird, too plain compared to everything else
- the story ended kinda abruptly, it felt to me too sudden
- Nigel, the self proclaimed yoga-instructor guy was too much in my opinion. I know the character meant to be annoying, but I hated him more than I expected from such a character. And by the end it was clear he has some mental illness (unable to realize and understand the "real world") that I didn't see coming which made me feel bad about hating him, because he definitely needs some kind of professional help and I don't wanna feel myself a bad person for hating someone who obviously needs help.
- Speaking of characters, I didn't get the point of the attorney character. Why was he introduced to the reader? I don't understand his role in the story, at all.
- There was some unclear subplots that I can feel were meant to connect, yet were unclear to me. For example above mentioned attorney's role, or the list at the very last pages of the story - so random items on it that weren't even mentioned. The ghost world had some illogical aspects, too (the little boy ghost got to court but suddenly it was all okay and all ghosts decided to help him, including those who took him to court...? It was messy, I didn't understand the logic behind.)

Overall I give it a big fat 4-star, because despite the negatives it was still an original story and to be honest I didn't expect from it to be so rich emotionally and be so creatively written. Definitely recommended, just for the drawings alone!

A wonderful graphic novel for middle-grade and everyone above that. Beautiful art, moving story about accepting grief, help, and unexpected friendship.

A cute, wholesome and easy to read story. It's a beautiful story about loss, grief and how friendship can shine a light even on your darkest days.

This graphic novel was already on my tbr so I mentally squealed when I saw it on Netgalley!

And it didn’t disappoint! Although a little sad, this was very cute and sweet and I am already picking it up and the sequel on Amazon as I think this is a read I will come back to every Halloween. It is the tale of a young girl who runs her family laundrette, struggling to keep it going after her mothers death and a young ghost who decides to help her. Hard to explain but it’s just a sweet cosy little read and the illustrations are beautiful.

This was such a great read but I didn’t really like the art style. (That’s really just a me thing). I can’t really criticise anything else, I had a really great time and the story just flowed very well.

I really liked the art work of this book but story wise I wasn't that interested and I wasn't following it all that well.
I found myself a bit confused as to why the main character placed so much blame onto the ghost when there was a man deliberately sabotaging her business.
I also didn't feel like the main character and the ghost had enough to bond over to call eachother friends.

What a GORGEOUS and unique book. I loved this so much.

The feeling of Marjorie's loneliness and loss, the colour palette, the way it all came together perfectly at the end...truly lovely. Really pleased to be given the chance to review this title, thank you so much.

I absolutely adored this book. The illustrations, the storyline, the characters - everything is so perfect. Marjorie and Wendell have my heart, and I'm so glad there are more books in this series because I can't leave this world just yet.

A cute tale of a girl with a terrible life and her ghost friend who tries to make it better. This is a great middle grade graphic novel.

This was a gorgeous story.

I think people tend to overlook graphic novels and middle grade novels, thinking that since they’re “made for kids” they have less meaning, less depth. Stories like <i>Sheets</i> challenge that assumption.

Though this was a short read, it made me feel such a variety of emotions in so little time. The characters all felt very well developed, even though we didn’t get to see much of them other than Marjorie and Wendell. Marjorie and Wendell themselves, are of course the most fleshed out characters, and they’re just delightful. Delightfully created, but my heart aches for them.

There are a lot of simple solutions in this book, but that attributes to the age group it’s marketed towards, so this is not a criticism. Rather, I think it’s quite satisfying to read books that are easy to understand sometimes, and this relaxed me while simultaneously taking me on a wonderful journey to the spirit world and the pretty lake town in which Marjorie resides.

The art was absolutely gorgeous as well; it felt like the golden autumns of my childhood. This is a perfect little spooky book, and I sort of wish that I had discovered this last autumn rather than in the middle of summer!

A gorgeous, moving story. No one should overlook middle grade or graphic novels, since they are so often some of the most eloquent stories I have ever read.

Read off of Netgalley; thank you to Oni Press and Brenna Thummler!

I adore this graphic novel - it's so cute and comforting. The art style is gorgeous. Pinks and blues are my favourite colour scheme and the every piece of art work is just beautiful. I'm now on the third book!

I had my eyes on this one for a while and when I saw that I got it, I was so excited and it ended up being the perfect read for a summer evening. Reading 'Sheets' with the window open, listening to the city, and getting lost in the pages was a nice and comforting time for me and for a while I forgot where I was and that I had other things to do.

Even though 'Sheets' is not a happy or easy read, it gives you hope and it shows you that even when you feel down or when people are mean or when you think there's nothing else to be done, there's always a ray or a sheet for you. (sorry, I had to)

The art and the colors in 'Sheets' is so beautiful and warm and even though the story read easily and fast, I found myself moving slowly, because I wanted to admire every page and detail and really savour the pretty pages. I see myself rereading this or just flipping through it when I want to remind myself that so much can be said with less words and also how art the vibes, the beautiful nuances and details, added to a story that was already so full and poetic.

I think that 'Sheets' can be read at any age and each of us is gonna take something else from it. At the same time, whether you enjoy it for the deeper messages or just for the art or for the ghostly friends or because you see yourself in the main character or the friendship between Wendell and Marjorie reminds you of a time or relationship in your life, you will definetly have a great time.

I can't wait to read more and I want to thank Oni Press and NetGalley for letting me read it.

I absolutely loved this book. It follows a girl whose life has collapsed after the death of her mum, and the ghost of a boy who died in the town the previous year. The illustrations are GORGEOUS, and I love the storyline, as well as the dialogue. The emotions and personalities of the characters are superbly shown through the illustrations, and I recommend this to anyone aged 8+.

I have really loved Graphic Novels over the last year. This one was adorable! The art style, color choice, storyline. Very appropriate for its intended audience!

This must be one of the cutest graphic novels I've read. I enjoyed it so much! I loved the illustrations, how realistic the expressions and body language of characters was. I also really enjoyed the storyline!

Wendell the ghost was very relatable, and his character development was very endearing to watch. Marjorie, too, was such a great well-rounded character and she tugged on my heartstrings. I loved her budding friendship with Wendell and how it all ended. I was also really happy to know that there will be a part 2, which I'm already looking forward to read!
(Thanks to Net Galley for this Graphic Novel.)

I thought this was a really cute book and enjoyed it.

It is short, and there is not a ton of dialogue, but man does it pack a punch. The beautiful illustrations, paired with the muted colors set the tone for the story perfectly.

Within the first few pages you heart breaks for poor little Marjorie.
Marjorie struggles with fitting in, the responsibility of taking care of her little brother, as well as the burden of trying to keep her family business afloat.

11 year old Wendall is a ghost under a sheet, who is too scared to take a bath since his drowning. He too struggles with fitting in.

This is a story about loss and grief. About the process one goes through when they lose a loved one, as well as a seldom seen take on the process one goes through when they pass on.
