About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is looking for their tribe or struggling to see how their unique, quirky interests fit into a group dynamic. Lumberjanes: Campfire Songs is a celebratory collection of short stories, songs, and activities centered around five best friends at a summer camp for Hardcore Lady Types. While the series is famous for its supernatural adventures and cryptid encounters, this specific volume leans into the joy of community, the value of shared traditions, and the strength found in radical self-expression. It is an ideal entry point or companion for middle-grade readers who value friendship above all else. The tone is consistently inclusive and upbeat, making it a safe haven for children who may feel like outsiders in traditional social settings. The book reinforces that being different is a superpower and that true friendship requires both teamwork and the space for individual weirdness. It is developmentally appropriate for ages 8 to 14, providing a roadmap for healthy, supportive female and non-binary friendships in a secular, modern, and high-energy format.
