This third novel based on the popular Lumberjanes comics finds the girls preparing for a theatrical festival at their summer camp for "Hardcore Lady-Types." But song-loving Ripley is distracted by a rescue mission related to a mysterious egg she found. Monochromatic red illustrations, snappy feminist-focused dialogue, fantasy elements, and colorful characters keep the plot rocketing forward. As usual, friendship and individuality are important overarching themes.

This second novel based on the Lumberjanes comics has the five Roanoke-cabin scouts competing in Galaxy Wars at their feminist-themed summer camp. Meanwhile, introspective aspiring scientist Jo ponders a big decision. A fast pace, snappy dialogue, and lots of girl-empowering wordplay characterize this entertaining series in which friendship refreshingly rules the day. Blue monochromatic illustrations (by the original series' artist) are included.
