Some years ago Slate magazine featured a book review of a comic book/graphic novel, about a couple of kids who suffered some trauma, divorce? - I think. There was a ghost in the novel, the kind of ghost wearing a sheet. It never spoke. … Well, I moved and lost it. It’s driving me crazy. Not a YA or children’s book. Ring a bell with anyone? ---

Is it _Only Skin?_ I found a [review on Slate](https://slate.com/culture/2012/08/only-skin-by-sean-ford-reviewed.html?pay=1741379139342&support_journalism=please), and it looks like it fits your description. “When teenage Cassie and her brother, Clay, return to town in search of their estranged father, nothing seems right: The sheriff’s more worried about her land deal than the mystery, Cassie’s only co-worker is a narcoleptic, and there’s a ghost in Clay’s bedroom.” ---

Did you lose the book, or the review of the book? Because _Sheets_ looks like a good candidate, but browing through it, it has lots of ghosts, and they speak. ETA looking at _Only Skin_. Seems to have only one ghost, but again lots of talking. (Tip of the day: if you have interest in reading _comic title_ online, try googling “read _comic title_ online”.) ---
