Another cute installment in the Lumberjanes series. This latest collection features scary stories around the campfire, portals to the Jurassic era, the quest to earn easy badges, the bear woman, and more. The characters are ever cute and keep you on your toes with their crazy antics and

shenanigans. Intended more for middle schoolers, but I guess I'm just young at heart. I can't wait for the next installment! Show Less

Jo, April, and Ripley try to do the most boring things they can to earn Lumberjanes badges. Meanwhile, Mal and Molly are on a date when the Bear Woman shows up and things go very, very awry.
The first issue in this volume (issue 9 of the series overall) is a cute standalone where each girl

(including Jen) tells a scary story. What they all find scary is VERY different! I'm not posting pages of this series anymore because I think you get the idea! The art is very good and fun. Each volume is better than the last. I enjoyed learning a bit more about the girls; I think this is the first time any of them has mentioned anything about their lives outside of camp. I also enjoyed that this is a self-contained story, and I'm ready for the next volume! Show Less

Girls at summer camp go to a lost world.
Good. Two stories in four issues is a big change from the previous one story in eight issues. Not a good or a bad change, just very different.

You know, I don't think I ever read Volume 2, but I got Volume 3 for Christmas, so onto the readathon TBR pile it went. In retrospect, I probably would have enjoyed this more had I checked out Volume 2 first. Ooops.
It doesn't seem like I missed too much in the jump though, and this was still a fun
I missed the creative famous-ladies-from-history swears.
I can't shake the feeling that I should be more into this than I am, but I liked it well enough.

I really want to like this series because it has lots of elements in its favor: diverse and interesting characters, novel setting, adventure and humor. But the storytelling is just flat. Not bad, just dull.

Consistently cute comic book about some adventurous teen girls at a magical summer camp. Picture something little bit like Adventure Time, mix that with some Scooby-Doo, sprinkle in a little Buffy the Vampire Slayer and you�êve got the basics of this energetic and progressive comic series.

This is the 3rd volume in the Lumberjanes series and I didn’t think it was quite as good as the previous two volumes. It felt like a transition book to me. I still enjoyed the colorful illustration, the zany characters, and the quirky camp.

The illustration is still easy to follow and fun. I like the full color. I continue to enjoy the crazy situations these girls are put into.
Overall I enjoyed this graphic novel; it was a fun and quirky read. I didn’t think it was the strongest of the series and hope that a stronger storyline is presented in volume 4.

This is the third volume of a YA graphic novel series about they way you wish your summer scout adventure camps had really been.
After a night of telling ghost stories, the girls have a free day. Mal and Molly have a picnic date in the woods, but end up following the supernatural Bear Woman into an
The rest of the girls stay in camp and decide to work on more traditional merit badges – such as cake decorating.
These are very quick reads and also very light. Sometimes, they are exactly what I am looking for!

I *love* the Lumberjanes girls. LOVE them. Also, the storyline is a hoot and the dialogue super-witty and -clever. Just all kinds of love for this series.
