Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley are Lumberjanes (sort of like Girl Scouts) spending their summer at Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady-Types. Things are not quite right at Miss Quinzella's, and the girls soon find themselves on an adventure involving rabid Scouting Lads, secret caves, ancient gods, and an Indiana-Jones style adventure. This book has gotten so much hype, and rightfully so. Originally planned to be just the four issues collected in this volume, its overwhelming success has turned it into an ongoing series for Boom! Box. I mean, they even sell Lumberjanes badges (and I totally want all of them, of course)! There aren't many comics out there featuring a diverse all-girl group of friends as their lead characters, and the fact that this book has been such a runaway success will hopefully mean we'll get more comics like it in the future. If you love action, humor, fun, and friendship to the max, make sure you don't miss out on this one.
