I quite enjoyed this. The series has definitely settled into a pattern, but so far it doesn’t seem too repetitive- just adorable and entertaining. And who knew roller derby would be my favorite thing in graphic novels?
The yetis have been kicked out of their treehouse by the sasquatch. The Lumberjanes decide the best way to settle the issue is with roller derby of course! And isn't it convenient that there just happens to be a course in the woods. So it is Lumberjanes vs. Sasquatch!
As always this series is awesome. I can't say this is my favorite illustrator, but I love the story. There is an issue with them welcoming Barney as part of the group. There is also a story about how Molly has to become comfortable with herself. The Lumberjanes are one of my favorites for a reason. They are all about inclusion and acceptance and they are just plain fun!

#RepresentationMatters
Within the first few pages of this volume, Barney is asked about what pronouns to use when referenced. Barney proudly says "they/them" and the story moves on. One camper asks about what pronouns are so pronouns are briefly explained but then the story goes on. It doesn't matter that Barney changed their pronouns and no one makes a big deal about it. This is so important!
The roller derby competition was also a lot of fun.
But seriously. Representation matters.

Yetis, Sasquatch, and roller derby. If you're not sold on that, perhaps the Lumberjane's mix of child endangerment, magic, and friendship aren't for you. Another fun adventure, with just enough ridiculous moments.
Not my favorite in the series. The other cabin of campers doesn’t interest me at all and it needed more Ripley. The roller derby plotline was fun though.
Barney is a great addition to the camp, but I found this volume rather dull overall. I hope the next volume with Parents Day brings more solidity to the series.
More celebration of friendship and inclusion, and some Roller Derby with sasquatches. Still a fun series to read.
This is a collective review for the entire Lumberjanes series.
I’ve been wanting to do a complete Lumberjanes read-through ever since I bought the first TPB at the New York ComiCon, back when the series first started. My son and I had just finished reading Namona together, and I was a big Noelle Stevenson fan on the back of that, so Lumberjanes was an obvious choice for what to read next. I read the first few volumes, and then let it sit for a few years as the series ran its course. Now, I have the chance to go back and take it all in as a single, extended reading. So what’s the verdict?
Lumberjanes is a magnificent comic property. Even if it doesn’t speak to you directly (and it doesn’t always speak that strongly to me), the truth is that a book with this much heart, accessibility, respect for each others’ differences, love for a good yarn, and investment in its own characters is a book worth everyone’s notice.
The story involves a very long and unusual summer for a gang of young women at a summer camp where mythical beasts roams and time works at its own pace. It is full of both epic danger and mundane camp stuff, where we might see our heroines fighting a creature from Greek myth one volume, and play a board game of their own making in another. For them, this time-warping summer camp experience is an extended exercise in facing the many challenges of burgeoning adulthood, where growing together matters more than growing up.
Throughout the Lumberjanes is a strong commitment to representation, and this book really delivers there. Just about every reader can easily see themselves in Lumberjanes, which is a feature, not a bug. Even though the stories themselves can hit a kind of rut without any real stakes or advancement of characters or meta-plot (this was especially the case once Stevenson moved off the book), the fact remains that this is a story that provides a much-needed presence in the world of graphic storytelling. You’re not going to find many books this overwhelmingly positive, especially to any dimension of diversity within the audience, and in a comics scene that so often meets diversity kicking and screaming, Lumberjanes' steadfast embrace of our differences really matters. There are more than a few books that feel cut from the Lumberjanes cloth nowadays, but one imagines they wouldn’t be around if not for Lumberjanes themselves. And you know what? We’re all better for it. Whether you like this book or not, you must respect it, and that is no small thing.

Yetis and a roller derby? Awesome! What a fun addition to the Lumberjanes story.
