Lumberjanes Volume 1: Beware the Kitten Holy


I have never read a comic/graphic novel quite like Lumberjanes. It is truly an adventure. 

The girls that this story is centred around are not the typical kind of girls that you get in books. These girls are all so totally different but all with one thing in common, they love a good adventure. 

I seriously could not put this volume down and the second I finished it I was tempted to go and get the next one right then. The combination of the mystery and adventure, and the fun, only made for an amazing read that makes you want to be friends with five lumberjanes just so that you can get in on the action too. 

On top of the amazing story, the artwork for this particular comic is crazy good. It captures the essence of scout camps while also having more excitement added into it. The layout of it being the Lumberjane handbook is such a good idea and with each chapter being a different badge just makes you become more involved in the story than you already would be. I like the use of photographs of the girls that they seem to have stuck in their guide book because it adds to the essence of them being away from home and looking for somewhere to store their memorable moments. 

I honestly cannot wait to get my hands on the next volume and see where this story and these characters go next. I just wish I could get my hands on it right now like it could materialise right into my lap.
