'This is a truly Sisyphean task, my friends.' 'How come I have so much stuff?' April asked no one in particular, putting one foot on her pile. I like these glimpses of other campers/cabins, both because it expands the scope of the story, and it also makes it clear that while Roanoke cabin might be dealing with the most weirdness, no one is having a completely normal summer camp experience. It also had a couple scouts from Zodiac cabin join up-Barney, and Hes (who helped in some of the comics). Ripley starred in this one, and she's not my favorite character, but the story recognized that she's characterized by being The Youngest, being excitable, and turned those into strengths while still writing a fun and engaging story.

I think Mariko Tamaki captures the heart of the series well, the humor, wordplay, and friendship. The Lumberjanes novels continue to delight.

Can the Lumberjanes once again save the day? Find out in The Good Egg by Mariko Tamaki and Brooklyn Allen, and as the Lumberjanes sign off I bid you 'Friendship to the Max.' It is said that Griffins love music, so can the other Lumberjanes back at camp led by Mal and Molly put on a fabulous show. Meanwhile, Jen has trouble back at camp as a group of Griffins are also searching for their egg. Someone has stolen the egg and Ripley is sad and depressed, now it is up to the some of the Roanoke and Zodiac cabins to save the egg from the tacky dressed Order of the Egg. While this is happening Ripley on one of her journeys found a nest of golden eggs and she nicknamed the baby egg Eggie. Therefore Rosie has invited on a former theatrical Lumberjane, and the cabins are being mixed up and have to perform a fairytale, but they also have to change the story up a bit. They need another challenge, something exciting. In The Good Egg, Ripley is feeling a little lost without their friend Castor and the team spirit of the Lumberjanes is lacking morale. It's time for Lumberjanes as I bring you the last chapter book in the Lumberjanes series, I did find it nice reading a chapter book for a change about their adventures rather than a graphic novel as the favorite thing about the books is that throughout the book it gives you a detailed list of some of the awesome badges that were mentioned in the story.
