Brenna Thummler writes and illustrates middle-grade graphic novels that combine family stories with ghosts, memory and everyday emotional difficulties. Sheets follows Marjorie, a girl trying to keep her family's laundrette running while grieving her mother, and Wendell, a ghost who becomes entangled in her life. Delicates continues with school bullying, isolation and the pressure to appear fine, while Lights completes the trilogy by investigating Wendell's past. Thummler's artwork uses soft colours and carefully composed spaces to make grief and loneliness visible without overwhelming the story. Her books suit middle-grade graphic novels, gentle supernatural fiction and readers of Raina Telgemeier or Victoria Jamieson looking for a quieter tone. Read more Less
