About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is searching for their people or needs a reminder that their unique quirks are actually their greatest strengths. Lumberjanes follows five fiercely independent girls at a summer camp where the merit badges are as strange as the supernatural creatures hiding in the woods. It is a masterclass in inclusive storytelling that celebrates friendship, bravery, and the joy of being exactly who you are. While the series features monsters and mystery, the heart of the story is the unwavering loyalty between the campers. The graphic novel format makes it highly accessible for reluctant readers, while the witty dialogue and complex character dynamics offer plenty for more advanced middle grade readers to chew on. Parents will appreciate the positive female role models and the way the story normalizes diverse identities and family structures without making them the sole focus of the plot.
