Delicates

 

Delicates / Brenna Thummler, 316 pg.

Marjorie Glatt is back.  She is still working with the group of ghosts living in her family’s laundromat. Marjorie finally gets accepted by the popular kids at school, which shifts her attention away from the family and Wendell, her best ghost friend.  This makes Wendell unhappy. 

Eliza Duncan is a bit of an outcast at school. She’s an avid photographer, and is interested in finding and photographing ghosts maybe because as an oustider, she feels like a ghost herself. 

Marjorie must soon come to terms with the price she pays to be accepted by the popular kids. Is it worth losing her friend, Wendell? Is she partially to blame for the bullying Eliza endures?

Delicates helps us see what it feels like to fit in, and how it feels to those who don't.
