Lumberjanes: Unicorn Power! by Mariko Tamaki
4.0
Hooray! The Lumberjanes have a whole novel to adventure around in! Everyone's favorite, supernatural-mischief-prone campers are at it again. April, Mal, Molly, Jo and Ripley run into a real, live unicorn (because of course they do) and discover an enormous mountain that, for reasons unknown, does not appear on any map. Every the over-achiever, April becomes determined to climb the mountain, so the whole gang sets off to climb a really weird mountain (after greeting the herd of unicorns who live at the mountain's base, naturally). For once, the adventure is intentional, but that doesn't make it any less unexpected.
So, it's always fun to visit Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types and this outing is no exception. I was a little worried about whether I'd enjoy a non-comic version of my favorite kid's comic series. Tamaki captures the essence of each character very well and the zany plot featuring unicorns (who apparently smell really, really bad, btw), improbable mountains, and a fun array of new characters, is classic Lumberjanes material. Fans won't be disappointed, but even newbies will be charmed by this fun and funny adventure.
