Lumberjanes: Unicorn Power! by Mariko Tamaki
3.0
3.5 Stars
If I wasn't already a mega fan of the comic books, I don't think I would like this as much. Granted, I'm not in this age demographic and casual, silly writing is not my usual preference. I love these characters and the Lumberjanes philosophy. I love how feminist and inclusive it is. I recommend the comics to all my younger library patrons and I would recommend the comics over this book. It read like a cartoon. I wish there was more description and character development. It also references the comics a little too much which is understandable since the books are a spin off, but it also banks on the reader reading them already. Which I imagine can be a bit alienating for a person new to the series. I'm definitely reading the next book though!
Read for NEWTs Readathon 2018, Herbology
P.S. I read this for my Herbology "A" level and the first chapter was about plants and even had plant illustrations (mosses AND vines, my favorite!). This coincidence made me very happy.
