Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 5 Up—The first four issues of this female-created and female-starring comic, set at summer camp with creepy happenings, are collected here in this kick-butt volume. The graphic novel begins mid-adventure as five campers are out after hours investigating a strange event that they all witnessed: a woman turning into a giant bear. This is just the first of many odd occurrences that Jo, April, Molly, Mal, and Ripley encounter at the summer camp for "Hardcore Lady Types." The Lumberjanes, as the scouts are called, band together to solve puzzles, defeat three-eyed creatures, and escape the ire of their watchful counselor Jen. Each protagonist has a skill that helps the group conquer each obstacle. Spunky, lovable characters sparkle with exuberant personality and challenge gender stereotypes. Small details make these episodes stand out—the hipster Yetis guarding a mysterious lighthouse, Molly and Mal's tender glances at each other, and Ripley's penchant for animals and all things cute. At the opening of each chapter, an excerpt from the Lumberjanes field guide is included and a gallery of cover images append the book. References to female heroines (invocations of Bessie Coleman and Joan Jett as well as Rosie the camp director's striking resemblance to Rosie the Riveter) and phrases such as "Friends to the Max!" and "What the junk!" add to the charm of this feel-good title that celebrates female empowerment. The vibrant art exudes humor and reinforces themes of teamwork and friendship. VERDICT A must-have graphic novel for those who have graduated from Raina Telgemeier's works.—Shelley Diaz, School Library Journal

Beware the Kitten Holy
4 Stars
Beware the Kitten Holy
4/5 stars"Lumberjanes are considered to be girls who can find their way around any situation, whether it be an unsuspecting adventure in the great outdoors to the problem solving of every day matters."A cute graphic novel for middle school children (and up) following the adventures of Jo, April, Molly, Mal, and Ripley as they explore the great outdoors at a summer camp for "Hardcore Lady Types." Follow them as they find three-headed beasts, survive water rapids, and try to uncover the mystery around the Kitten Holy.I really appreciated how each of the five girls has a very unique personality and represents different body types and ethnicities. It was an overall cute read with the novel split into four short-ish stories showing off their adventures. A nice touch were the excerpts from Lumberjanes Field Manual describing badges and hinting at what the upcoming story will be about. There also appears to be an overarching goal or mystery which adds a little more depth to series. Overall, it's a nice short light-hearted read.

This was such a fun and creative story! I really didn’t know what to expect when I started reading, but it didn’t disappoint! Even though it was a short, quick read, the story didn’t feel too rushed. I loved the characters and their banter and found myself chuckling several times.

I really enjoyed this book and how close the girls are to each other. Their adventures were wild, hilarious and full of surprises. I loved how each of their unique ways of doing things was important and their unexpected journey through underground that reminded me of something Indiana Jones is known to do.

I can't wait to learn more about what's going on with the mystical creatures and go along for more adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars This story is not what I thought it was going to be.

Beware the Kitten Holy is a funny story. I love the way this graphic novel is drawn and colored. I like that it's very vibrant. I like that the images seem to be kind of wide even though they are cramped into a small space. I think that helped add to the whole “Great Outdoors” feel of the story.

This story is not what I thought it was going to be. I feel like this story was really written for maybe teens or pre-teens because the content seems, kind of, juvenile but in a good way. It was very simple; kind of, innocent in the way the magical elements were presented. Still, adults could totally read and enjoy this if they don’t take it too seriously.

So, the first thing that I like was the whole female wilderness survivalists who are kids, thing. That's like two things already that really appeal to me. We've got young characters who are also females surviving out in the wilderness which is kind of against the status quo. I love the fact that this story is so funny. I think its humor and the drawings really send the story over the top. Without there being so much humor and without the images being so vibrant, I probably would have given this story a lower rating. It's not a complicated story but it isn’t that simple either. Some people may just not get it.

What I really liked about the story is the constant theme of friendship. You have this group of young survival girls who are basically tormenting their camp counselor, which anyone who's ever gone to camp, can relate to. This group of friends, whether they are or aren’t traumatizing their camp counselor, stick together. They help each other out. They laugh at things that are funny and they can poke fun at each other while also building each other up. None of these girls are vindictive towards one another. They're all very different and they seem to accept each other for their differences.

I also liked the Indiana Jones/Nancy Drew mashup happening within the girl’s wilderness adventures. Even when they do cross paths with other creatures such as wolves or even boys, the girls seem to find a way to have the upper-hand, whether planned out or through total coincidental calamity.

Some readers might find the content to be a little off-putting considering the age range for readers. It's hard for me to clearly say that this is a graphic novel written for teenage girls between the ages of 13 and 16 because I really don’t know; that’s just what I assumed. I will offer two warnings for potential readers. (1) While this is a very light and fluffy story, there are some dark and or disturbing moments.

(2) *SPOLIER here* Also, two of the characters seem like they might have a crush on each other, which may be a matter of concern for conservative parents.**

Still, all in all, this wasn’t a groundbreaking, earth-shattering phenomenon, but it was highly entertaining.

I’d recommend it to comic fans, feminists, and anyone who appreciates a funny story that’s just a little outside the box.

I can't gush enough! This comic really captured my imagination. It's fun and goofy and mysterious and fun and awesome! It felt like comfortable old favorite while at the same time being fresh and new. Why hasn't this been done before?

The individual issue plots are fun and tie into an overarching plot very nicely. There's enough mystery to keep you wanting to read future issues. The characters are all well-developed as individuals. They're all capable in their own ways. They all support each other. It's refreshing to see a group of girls who aren't all about the "girly" stuff or getting catty over boys.

The art style fits this comic perfectly. All the variant covers in the gallery are a really nice addition. I loved seeing different interpretations of the characters in other art styles.

I would give this to kids and adults alike!

Full of sass, snarky quips, and the occasional pun, this book is not for the faint of heart, or the serious of temperament (or if you have a problem with people NOT subscribing to your particular religion). It starts off reading like a traditional scout manual (boys or girls), and goes into a brief passage about silly badges that I would have loved to have earned when I was a scout. One abrupt cutoff later, the comic starts, and goes into a wacky adventure that relates to the badge previously explained. While I enjoy the setup, the continuity of the story likes to jump ahead, so you're not getting every detail of every day, and that's fine with me. The five main characters, Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley (well, six if you include their stressed out cabin leader, Jen), are entirely relatable. They all have a thirst for adventure, believable traits, and even an irrational phobia, albeit later on a VERY rationalized phobia. All in all, with the promise of whimsical adventures, crazy circumstances​, and a longing for a time since past, Lumberjanes delivers a fun bit of wilderness much needed to escape the dull monotony of our boring lives. So put on your hiking boots, grab your favorite walking stick, and prepare to jump headfirst into the wild outdoors. Watch out for poison ivy!

I loved the scouting and the artwork, the name dropping - like Juliette Gordon Low - the different personalities and the normalcy of girls doing it all. The thing that got me though, the thing that affected my rating was the world building. I felt that I was dropped in the middle of the story with little context so while I was enjoying the new creatures and deepening mystery, I couldn’t shake this feeling that I must have skipped several pages in the beginning. Still, I look forward to reading the next volume.

The characters are so likeable and the story line is a tad confusing in the beginning (like what is happening).
