We're back to one artist and I liked the artwork much better in this volume. It was also one plotline from start to finish and that helped too. It felt like this was more representative of what drew people to the series to begin with. On to the next!

Issue #13 shows the girls as they are being dropped off at camp on the first day. Too cute! Jo's dads especially.

In this episode: a blizzard in the middle of summer, and a Frozen reference. The appearance of Abigail, who reminded me of Nicole Kidman's role in Paddington bear. Emotionally scarred by a defining incident in her youth (Betrayal! Flashbacks in sepia!), she grows up into a taxidermist who is obsessed with the ultimate prize: a weird elephant-caterpillar (elepillar? caterphant?) monster of the mountain.

A lot of hinting that the Lumberjane Camp isn't what it appears to be. And I don't get what Jo's problem is with Bailey. He is a delight.

This is actually my favorite of the volumes that have been released so far, which is the first six. I love that we get to see so much of the supporting characters, like Rosie, Jen, the Bear Woman, and the Scouting Lads. The first issue is a little out of place, but seeing Ripley's family reveals a lot about her character. Seeing Jo's dads was also great. I like that bits about all of the girls have been slowly revealed, and that the comic never makes a big deal about have a trans character and gay couples. I also always love a flashback.
