A sweet story about friendship beautifully illustrated in a subtle pastel palette, Sheets is the story of Marjorie Glatt, a young teenage girl struggling to cope in the aftermath of her mother’s death, while her father wallows in his grief she struggles to keep the family business going , despite growing pressure from a local businessman who has his eye on the site for development, She also has the same obstacles to overcome as most teenage girls, struggling to fit in at school etc.

Sweetly sad and beautifully illustrated , this moving story of loss and survival is definitely worth checking out.
