Lumberjanes is so dang cute! I love the characters, the way the writers replaced swearing with exclamations of the names of historical figures, and the neat ways the authors and illustrators use the subversion of gender roles to set the scene for further world building.
I look forward to seeing how having Jen by her campers' sides changes the way they try to solve the mysteries the first book set up.

This is everything I wanted from girl scout camp growing up, and more. The creators of this series are trying to create positive representation for a ton of marginalized identities in a setting that toes the line between reality and fantasy, and they're doing a great job so far. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the series!
