Five friends have summer adventures at Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady-Types. These adventures involve such things as math, puns, secret caves, and sinister three-eyed forest beasts.I’m a big fan of Nimona, Stevenson’s previous graphic novel, which she both wrote and illustrated, so I confess to a bit of disappointment when I found out that Lumberjanes had a different artist. Allen’s loose, energetic style works, though. Lumberjanes itself is light, adventurous, and fun, with occasional forays into wackiness that might not appeal to everyone. It’s not particularly deep (yet), but I enjoyed it as a modern twist on a classic Kids' Own adventure story.
Oh, and one minor complaint: "Either tot utter" is not an anagram of "The truth is out there." "Either tot utter hush" works, but as shown in the story, you're short four letters.
