Marjorie Glatt’s life hasn’t been the same ever since she
discovered a group of ghosts hiding in her family’s laundromat. Wendell,
who died young and now must wander Earth as a ghost with nothing more than a
sheet for a body, soon became one of Marjorie’s only friends. But when
Marjorie finally gets accepted by the popular kids at school, she begins to
worry that if anyone learns about her secret ghost friends, she’ll be
labeled as a freak who sees dead people. With Marjorie’s insistence on
keeping Wendell’s ghost identity a secret from her new friends, Wendell
begins to feel even more invisible than he already is.
Eliza Duncan
feels invisible too. She’s an avid photographer, and her zealous interest
in finding and photographing ghosts gets her labeled as “different”
by all the other kids in school. Constantly feeling on the outside, Eliza begins
to feel like a ghost herself.
Marjorie must soon come to terms with
the price she pays to be accepted by the popular kids. Is it worth losing her
friend, Wendell? Is she partially to blame for the bullying Eliza
endures?
Delicates tells a powerful story about what it means to fit
in, and those left on the outside. It shows what it’s like to feel
invisible, and the importance of feeling seen. Above all, it is a story of
asking for help when all seems dark, and bringing help and light to those who
need it most.

Following Brenna Thummler’s bestselling and critically acclaimed graphic novels Sheets and Delicates, Marjorie, Eliza, and Wendell the ghost are back to uncover the secrets of Wendell’s human life in the third and final heartwarming installment of the Sheets trilogy.
Marjorie Glatt’s life was forever changed the day she discovered a group of ghosts hiding in her family’s laundromat. One of those ghosts was Wendell: a lonely phantom turned Marjorie’s best friend. When he and Marjorie are joined by ghost-enthusiast Eliza Duncan, the three friends band together in friendship, bravery, and all things paranormal.
Wendell died far too young and now must wander the Land of Humans with nothing more than a sheet for a body. He knows how he died—a tragic drowning accident—but lately he’s grown curious about his past life. He wants to know more about why he died, not just how he died. It’s not easy, though, since Wendell’s memory of his human life has grown increasingly blurry. With Marjorie and Eliza’s help, they set out on a journey to find out more. When they hear a rumor about Wendell’s death, they wonder if it might not have been an accident after all. Meanwhile, Marjorie and Eliza’s friendship is tested when Marjorie starts to befriend the very people who used to bully Eliza.
In the third and final installment of the Sheets trilogy, Wendell will finally uncover the truth of his human life. Marjorie and Eliza will learn that some people really can change. Most of all, they start to see that everything can cast shadows, but if you look hard enough, you can find the light.
