Lumberjanes: Unicorn Power! by Mariko Tamaki
4.0
I don’t read a lot of middle grade but I DO read a lot of Lumberjanes. This was such a fun book and Mariko and Brooklyn got the voice and atmosphere on point!
April, Molly, Mal, Ripley, and Jo are continuing their mission of earning scout badges at Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thisle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types. This time around, it’s the Extraordinary Explorers medal and obviously there’s no option other than to head up a mountain…where the unicorns live.
What I loved about this specific story was Mariko’s ability to make her sentiments about unicorns feel like knowledge that’s just accepted. Sure, these majestic creatures smell absolutely terrible. Of course they do! That is now canon in the world.
What I love about the Lumberjanes is their accessibility to all audiences. The diversity within the characters represents the real world, something we don’t see in many mainstream comics. This is an all ages story overall and Unicorn Power has appeal for younger audiences as well as those of us a little older.
Highly recommend for Lumberjanes fans and those who want a nice introduction. I dare you to pick up anything Lumberjanes and not get hooked!
