The sixth volume of the rather marvellous Lumberjanes starts with Molly feeling like she wants the summer to last longer. So much so that she makes a deal with a mysterious voice in a waterfall. Inevitably, it goes horribly wrong and the Roanoke girls end up in the thick of it, ably assisted by councillor Jen and the usual supporting cast. Although is nobody going to say anything about what happened when Rosie got magically aged up?
I feel really sorry for Molly, she seems so happy at camp, but her home life is obviously difficult. I expect we'll be seeing more of that, as well as whatever seems to live in the waterfall and has it in for the Lumberjanes.
The second arc in the book consists of the Roanoke girls in a bit of a funk after their last adventure and Jen leading them on a search for the mythical jackalope. They encounter a traveller with her own set of fantastic beasts, and learn about her her history. Emmy seems like a fun character and I hope we meet her again. The final story in the volume is a single issue story of Zodiac cabin starting up a camp newsletter and the trouble caused by people reading their horoscopes. It's a light, fun little story to round off the volume.
I think this is a well-balanced volume, with the quieter, more character-focused back half balancing out the action-heavy first arc. I love all the characters by now and I look forward to see where the story goes. At some point, I'm going to need to binge-read the story-so-far in order to remind myself of the wider goings-on though.

This is the first one where I'm a little less than impressed (though it's still fun to read)! I loved Molly's adventure when she tried to slow down time so she could spend more time with her friends, but the following story after that occurred felt a little forced. I liked Emmy and her monster brood well enough, but the story as a whole felt sort of superfluous. The last story with the Zodiac cabin making a newsletter was a good way to end it though. Also, give me Marigold the cat in a reporter's outfit forever and ever, thanks.

Still full of girl power although the story seems to have slowed down. There wasn't much of bear woman and Molly.
The b-team of lumberjanes (not the Roanokes but the others) were a bigger focus this time. That's fine but I don't want the main story to get dropped.
