Synopsis: Five best friends spending the summer at Lumberjane scout
camp...defeating yetis, three-eyed wolves, and giant falcons...what’s not to
love?! Friendship to the max! Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best
pals determined to have an awesome summer together...and they’re not gonna let
any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way. These
five best pals determined to have an awesome summer together...and they’re not
gonna let any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their
way! But having stumbled onto a mysterious force wreaking havoc in the camp,
it’s a race through the woods as the Lumberjanes work together to save not only
their friends, but maybe even the whole world!Review: What a fun story! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it far exceeded my expectations. Strong female leads, excellent female relationship, passes the Bechdel Test (in fact, boys aren't even mentioned) - plus, mysterious creatures, strange artifacts, an enigmatic camp director, mythological beings come to life, stressed-out-but-loving counselor, magic, adventure, danger, and humor. It’s everything I would want from a graphic novel. I can’t recommend this story enough.
