Brenna Thummler: American cartoonist behind the Sheets / Delicates / Lights middle-grade graphic-novel trilogy — gentle-emotional ghost stories for ages 10–14.

Brenna Thummler is an American cartoonist best known for the Sheets / Delicates / Lights middle-grade graphic-novel trilogy, gentle-emotional ghost stories about a young laundromat worker and her quietly magical entanglements with ghosts of the recently bereaved. Thummler's style is soft, painterly, atmospheric and emotionally precise, with a clear-eyed approach to grief, loneliness and the boundaries of friendship. The trilogy works as a strong companion shelf to The Sad Ghost Club and the wider Telgemeier/Knisley contemporary middle-grade-graphic-novel tradition. Strong appeal for ages 10–14.
