The media could not be loaded.  Original storyline about a 13y/o that teaches us about perseverance through grief. Love the art that is so detailed as to even show all the different emotions between characters. Will teach!

Is an easy reeding, recommended for young people, the story is pretty simple but the art and the characters are pretty charming.

Such a cute little heartwarming story. I audibly gasped near the end. Wendell was so cute an innocent. I really felt for Marj, she was like a little adult, dealing with so much! This made me forget I was reading. I really enjoyed it!

You might be familiar with Thummler’s brilliant artwork from last year’s graphic novel adaptation of Anne of Green Gables. And if you haven’t yet gotten to that gem, bump it up on your TBR pile! This is her first solo graphic novel and I have a feeling we have a lot more in store from her! It’s the story of 13 year-old Marjorie who has been thrust into the responsibilities of running her family’s laundromat and taking care of her younger brother after her mother dies and her father has fallen into a deep depression. She is just barely hanging on and resisting the awful Mr. Saubertuck who wants to run them out of business and turn their building into a spa. But then… enter Wendell. He’s a young ghost - young meaning new and young meaning died when he was young who winds up being pulled out of the afterlife world and into Marjorie’s life. He’s looking for.. meaning. And after a rocky start with Marjorie, does end up finding it. For me, the strength and charm of this book is really about the outstanding illustrations - the gorgeous pastel palette and the nuances of the wordless panels. And based on how this book is flying through my classroom, it clearly also has that all-important kid-appeal.

He wanted books for his birthday and this was perfect for 11 year old. 5th grade

Llego con ciertos arrañasos y golpes en algunas páginas y en la portada. También el lomo está un poco despegado de su último bloque de páginas.

I absolutely adore this artwork! The color palette is so beautiful and elaborate. I love the art style and details of the scenery in the book! The plot was very engaging and interactive. The storyline was good, but it seemed like the ending came a bit to soon. I wished there would have been a bit more to read, and the love relationship in this story was a bit tightly packed. I wished there would have been more to read about the love relationship in this book. Besides that, the story line is absolutely wonderful, and the artwork is absolutely gorgeous!

I admit that the first pages I wasn't sure what to expect, but as usual I kept at it. It was more interesting than what I was forced to read through school.After a little bit, the story began way more intriguing then really compelling.I admit that I really enjoyed it and recommend it. After all, ghost can be sweet.

Super tierna y los colores de las ilustraciones son preciosos. La historia es muy divertida y los personajes me gustaron mucho.

Bem... como se descreve algo complexo como uma emoção? Como está que sheets transmite, sentimentos são tão individuais e unitários, relativos a experiências individuais. Entretanto acredito que "Cativante" é a única palavra que me vêm a mente quando tento descrever essa graphic. Sabe aquele livro/ filme/ seriado, bem possivelmente em animação? que lembras com carinho e te trás conforto ao recordar. Numa simplicidade tamanha sheets faz isso em poucas páginas, eu me apaixonei pela obra e assim quando pude comprei a versão para Kindle, a Line-art da artista é simplesmente linda, todas as ilustrações são de tamanha identificação visual que parece até que pertencemos ao ambiente ou a situação, toda a arte traz um sentimento a tona de familiaridade e conforto, que antes de notar irá ter acabado a obra. É tão fácil amar a Marjory e sentir empatia pela mesma. Eu poderia falar muito mais sobre a obra, mas a experiência que cada página passa, com ilustrações tão lindas em tons pastéis de te deixar paralisado tentando captar todos os detalhes na chuva de cores, ou nos diálogos curtos mas bem precisos, e na filosofia tão linda de pertencimento as perspectivas relativas, que se torna a melhor forma de absover tudo sendo experiênciando o mesmo, essa narrativa tão simples mas delicada que o livro passa é algo bem única e especial. É tão estranhamente nostálgico, como se colocássemos os óculos de banho da infância e mergulhássemos novamente no mar (quem leu pegou).Ps:(Só um adendo: não recorram a pirataria. É bem perceptível nas ilustrações tão bem trabalhadas, e na narrativa cheia de inspirações pessoais, uma história feita com amor por uma artista que ama o que faz. ajude a arte crescer e melhorar a vida de mais pessoas ;)

Got an ear from netgalley but never got around to reading it. I bought this recently to finally read. I don't know why I waited so long to read it. it was amazing!I felt so emotionally connected to the story, I was on an emotional rollercoaster and I lived every minute of it.I will be getting the second one.

I have read all the ghost books and I love them all , the illustrations are beautifully crafated the story’s Re always so amazing to read , and I can read them with in a hour

Der Comic bearbeitet ernste Themen wie Mobbing und den Verlust eines Elternteils. Dies tut er aber auch die wohl sanfteste Art und ist gleichzeitig sehr, sehr emotional. Sheets ist so zart wie Spitze
