Humorously riffing on everything from scout badges to the X-Men to feminist heroes ("Where the Phillis Wheatley were you?"), it's a sharp, smart, and most of all fun celebration of sisterhood that will leave readers eager for the Lumberjanes' future exploits. Natural leader Jo is a math whiz, and the mutual attraction between nervous punk-rocker Mal and sweet-natured Molly is evident. April, who has the doe eyes and buoyant tresses of a Disney princess, doesn't just arm-wrestle a giant talking statue, she snaps off his arm in the process. 1 - by Nd Stevenson & Shannon Watters & Grace Ellis (Paperback) 9.

Five best friends spend the summer at Lumberjane scout campdefeating yetis, three-eyed wolves, and giant falcons. With a cast of varied skills and temperaments, there's something here for everyone.

Probably, but the list is fabulous and a great talking point with adolescent patrons.The first four supernatural adventures of five young scouts-in-training at Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Girls Hardcore Lady Types are gathered in this clever, funny, and just-creepy-enough collection. Lumberjanes: Volume 1 Beware The Kitten Holy by ND Stevenson. I dig the girl power, just not the execution.What I do like are the shout-outs to female leaders that pepper the dialog. The characters, although all atypical female characters, were the most basic stereotypical atypical female characters. /rebates/2fbook2f3858683572fLumberjanes-Vol-1&.
I did not see what the fuss was over Nimona (I found her annoying), and I felt pretty much the same way about Lumberjanes.
It comes down to the fact that I simply do not enjoy Stevenson's writing. Myself, I rate Lumberjanes 2/5, although I could see my students loving it, and I imagine that I'll order the series for my school library. The three star rating is somewhat disingenuous. 1 Kindle & comiXology by ND Stevenson (Author), Grace Ellis (Author), & 1 more Format: Kindle Edition 1,433 ratings Part of: Lumberjanes Goodreads Choice Award nominee See all formats and editions Kindle & Comixology 0.00 Kindle & Comixology 7.49 to buy Library Binding 21.91 3 Used from 18.67 1 New from 21.
