Lumberjanes: Unicorn Power by Mariko Tamaki

Friendship to the max! That is the motto that the Lumberjanes follow. These girls are learning how to be comfortable in their own skin and proud of what they bring to the table. It doesn’t matter that they are all vastly different, they are still friends. These friends need all the help they can get when they stumble upon the adventures that just seem to draw them in.

I enjoyed this lighthearted fantasy. The relationships between the girls was inspiring and I wished that I had a group of friends in middle school who knew we were different but still appreciated what each girl could do. I was not fortunate to have that and I loved falling into this world and feeling like I could be a part of this awesome girl group.

Welcome to Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types. The five scouts of Roanoke cabin—Jo, April, Molly, Mal, and Ripley—love their summers at camp. They get to hang out with their best friends, earn Lumberjane scout badges, annoy their no-nonsense counselor Jen . . . and go on supernatural adventures. That last one? A pretty normal occurrence at Miss Qiunzella’s, where the woods contain endless mysteries.

Today is no exception. When challenge-loving April leads the girls on a hike up the TALLEST mountain they’ve ever seen, things don’t go quite as planned. For one, they didn’t expect to trespass into the lands of the ancient Cloud People, and did anyone happen to read those ominous signs some unknown person posted at the bottom of the mountain? Also, unicorns.
