Can't Wait to Read

I got a little preview of the advanced digital reader copy of this graphic novel from my Diamond Bookshelf newsletter and I will definitely put this on my watch and wait list. The cover is already charming and the voice of the main character fits the coloring and art style.

Congratulations to Brenna Thummler on her first original graphic novel. I can't wait to read this. 

Description:

A practical thirteen-year-old in charge of the family laundry business, Marjorie's daily routine features unforgiving customers, unbearable P.E. classes, and the fastidious Mr. Saubertuck who is committed to destroying everything she's worked for.

Wendell is a ghost. A boy who lost his life much too young, his daily routine features ineffective death therapy, a sheet-dependent identity, and a dangerous need to seek purpose in the forbidden human world.

When their worlds collide, Marjorie is confronted by unexplainable disasters as Wendell transforms Glatt's Laundry into his midnight playground, appearing as a mere sheet during the day. While Wendell attempts to create a new afterlife for himself, he unknowingly sabotages the life that Marjorie is struggling to maintain.
