Delicates Volume 2

Marjorie Glatt’s life hasn’t been the same ever since she

discovered a group of ghosts hiding in her family’s laundromat. Wendell,

who died young and now must wander Earth as a ghost with nothing more than a

sheet for a body, soon became one of Marjorie’s only friends. But when

Marjorie finally gets accepted by the popular kids at school, she begins to

worry that if anyone learns about her secret ghost friends, she’ll be

labeled as a freak who sees dead people. With Marjorie’s insistence on

keeping Wendell’s ghost identity a secret from her new friends, Wendell

begins to feel even more invisible than he already is.

Eliza Duncan

feels invisible too. She’s an avid photographer, and her zealous interest

in finding and photographing ghosts gets her labeled as “different”

by all the other kids in school. Constantly feeling on the outside, Eliza begins

to feel 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 tells a powerful story about what it means to fit

in, and those left on the outside. It shows what it’s like to feel

invisible, and the importance of feeling seen. Above all, it is a story of

asking for help when all seems dark, and bringing help and light to those who

need it most.
