Lumberjanes, vol. 1: Beware of Kitten Holy by Noelle Stevenson and Grace Ellis, art by Brooke Allen and Shannon Watters, 128 pagesJo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley are five campers at Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniwuiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady-Types when they begin encountering supernatural beings (a bear-lady! three-eyed foxes! a giant river monster!). Girl-power-filled adventures ensue. I LOVED this book. It pokes fun at Girl Scouts, but without being mean. It's very girl-powery without being denigrating toward boys. It's smart, it's fun, it's full of adventure. I think it's a great start for kids (especially girls) getting into comics, and I can't wait to share it with my own kids. Also can't wait to read the next volume.
