Marjorie, Eliza, and Wendell the ghost are back to uncover the secrets of Wendell’s human life in the third and final heartwarming installment of the Sheets trilogy.
Marjorie Glatt’s life was forever changed the day she discovered a group of ghosts hiding in her family’s laundromat. One of those ghosts was a lonely phantom who turned into Marjorie’s best friend. When he and Marjorie are joined by ghost-enthusiast Eliza Duncan, the three friends band together in friendship, bravery, and all things paranormal.
Wendell died far too young and now must wander the Land of Humans with nothing more than a sheet for a body. He knows how he died—a tragic drowning accident—but lately he’s grown curious about his past life. He wants to know more about why he died, not just how he died. It’s not easy, though, since Wendell’s memory of his human life has grown increasingly blurry. With Marjorie and Eliza’s help, he sets out on a journey to learn more.

I was so excited to see this. title on Netgalley.
I have read the previous graphic novels Delicates and Sheets and immediately fell in love with the story and illustrations.
Lights follows our main character Marjorie as she reconnects with old friends. Marjorie loves having multiple friends but Eliza feels betrayed. Why is Marjorie hanging out with the people who made fun of her? But really, why is Marjorie even interested in more than just Eliza? This volume deals with the many levels of friendships and different connections. On a side note, Wendell keeps having flashbacks of his past. He embarks on a journey with Eliza, and sometimes Marjorie by his side to discover the haunting truth behind his death, using bits and pieces of memories, and a mysterious stranger lurking in the shadows. Will Marjorie be able to keep all of her friends happy? Will Eliza get over her jealousy? Will Wendell uncover his past?
As always, Brenna Thummler writes wonderful, personified characters. Each with their own back story and events that shape and mold the story into a tale of friendship and breakthroughs. I love the color palette of all three graphic novels but this one most. It consists of beautiful pastels that blend together to bring vivid images amongst a wholesome story.
