Things haven't been the same since Marjorie Glatt's mother died. Marjorie's dad rarely comes out of his room so everything is left for Marjorie to do. She must keep up with her school work, take care of her little brother, and run the family laundry business. With all that to keep her busy, she still feels like she's invisible and totally alone.
Between customer demands and crazy Mr. Saubertuck the local yoga instructor, things are not looking good for Glatt's Laundry. If only Marjorie's dad would help with the business and figure out if they should accept Mr. Saubertuck's offer to turn the laundry into a spa and yoga retreat. Marjorie doesn't want to give up the business, but the way things are going, accepting the offer might be best for everyone.
Marjorie isn't the only one struggling and feeling alone. A little ghost named Wendell is trying to adjust to the world of the dead. When his fellow ghosts discover the laundry is the perfect nighttime place to gather for fun and games, Wendell meets Marjorie. After he convinces her that she shouldn't fear him just because he is a ghost, he may actually have the answer to her failing business problems.
A fun story combined with fabulous artwork make this graphic novel by Brenna Thummler a sure winner. I was thrilled to discover that Marjorie and Wendell are returning in a sequel called DELICATES due out in March!
