I continue to be so incredibly excited about this series and wish I had had access to this kind of content growing up. I was especially excited to get some more background on the mysterious Rosie and learn more about the purpose of the Lumberjanes. But the real draw continues to be how amazing the girls and Jen are in every panel. Jen's mix of fierceness, exasperation, and the desire to protect her girls was highlighted in this book, to my delight - her driving = how I feel driving. I'm so glad that she is starting to demand answers and start embracing all the things that go along with being a Lumberjane.

But the most significant part for me was the conversation between Barney and Jo about being trans and being where you feel comfortable and what it means to be a Lumberjane. It is seriously great to see diversity in race, gender, and sexuality presented in such a positive way to kids in a manner that they can connect to. This series makes me wish I could afford to buy sets of it and mail it to everyone I know with kids or who enjoys graphic novels. ( )

Aww, Jen gets her own adventure finally! It was really good to get to check in with the Scouting Lads camp too and see how they're doing now that, uh, they're not being mind controlled to be evil. Also: I am hype to see more about whatever sinister plot is building in the backdrop of this series. I love how each volume gives a fun adventure while also deepening my understanding of these characters and the relationships between them. ( )

Another great instalment with the Lumberjanes. These are so much and so enjoyable. ( )

Wonderful getting a story from Jen’s POV. The bear-woman plot line continued from vol 3 wasn’t its best moment, but it had a satisfying resolution with nutty Abigail in this volume. ( )

Loving this series! This time around our girls experience winter in the summer! What the!?!? Jen gets taken in by an old Lumberjane who is determined to kill every beast in the forest. Lots of adventure in this one plus the reappearance of the cute kitten from the boys camp! Squee! ( )
