Rating: 3/5
Lumberjanes is a story about five girls attending a scout camp, who encounter three eyed beasties and must unravel the mystery of the holy kitten...er, kitten holy.
I enjoyed the layout of the book. It begins as being a scout guide, and each part introduces a badge and the qualifications for obtaining it. The story for the individual sections follows the girls through adventures that tie into that particular badge. The writers have a lot of fun with this tie-in.
There are two problems I had with this book. The first is that the girls did not feel distinctive enough for me. Maybe if they had been introduced a little better this could have been mitigated. The second is that there isn't a resolution to the problem presented at the beginning. This will likely be addressed over multiple arcs, or through the entire series, but it left me feeling unsatisfied at the end of the book.
That being said, the writers make each part enjoyable. They clearly enjoyed writing it and there are some very clever sections that allow each girl to take center stage.
