The brand-new deluxe hardcover collector's edition of Sheets features never-before-seen content from the beloved graphic novel from Brenna Thummler. For Marjorie Glatt, being thirteen years old isn't quite the same as it is for everyone else. Responsible for running her family's laundromat while trying to survive middle school, Marjorie's daily struggles include persnickety customers, snippy classmates, agonizing swim lessons, and laundry... always, always laundry. Wendell is a bit different, too. Wendell is a ghost. His daily struggles include Dead Youth support groups and unavoidable stains. But when he escapes from the Land of Ghosts and bumbles into Marjorie's laundromat--the perfect ghost playground--his attempts at fun and friendship begin to harm the family business. Sheets is a powerful story about a young girl's perseverance, even when all the odds are stacked against her. It shows that forgiveness and second chances can result in unlikely friendships. Above all, it is an invitation into an unusual, haunted laundromat that brings family, friends, and--yes--sheets to life.

The wife of Danilo (the head of the Álvarez cartel) left him for a Brazilian lover. She also robbed half of the cartel's money before she vanished! Vincente, to both console his father-in-law and to bring closure for the family, searched for someone to replace Danilo's ex-wife. The cartel's financial woes caused the collapse of the economy. Civil unrest, riots and lootings followed within days. The viceroy of New Granada threatened to annex the colony if the (local) politicians failed to solve the crisis. At the yearly vice-regal beauty pageant, Vincente selected Giovana--who won the beauty contest of the Margarita province earlier that year. As the 'trophy wife' and new 'lady of the house' of society's ruling family, she enjoyed many privileges and a life of ease. At least, that is what it seemed unto outsiders...
