Lumberjanes: Unicorn Power! by Mariko Tamaki

3.0

I really like the Lumberjanes comics and so do our readers at school so I really wanted to enjoy this novelisation. Sadly I'm not convinced that the quirky, at times arch humour transferred as well to the longer textual format. At times the story was laboured and the book definitely dragged in the middle. The plot itself (finding some smelly unicorns and a mythical mountain) wasn't exciting enough to sustain my interest, let alone a younger reader's and although I did enjoy the deeper exploration of some of the characters' personalities I still feel that this is done neater and with more lightness of touch in the comics.
