Description

A guide to all of the coolest magical creatures in the bestselling Lumberjanes books and graphic novels

Over the years, there have been countless magical creatures spotted at Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types: mermaids, moon mice, griffins, Cloudies—you name it, the campers have seen it! But there’s only one group of Lumberjanes equipped to catalog the strange happenings at the camp: Roanoke cabin. Jo, April, Molly, Mal, Ripley, and Barney are working to earn their BEAST trophy, which is an epic project to collect as much knowledge they can about these creatures. They interview mermaids, play camp games with Cyclops, talk hair care with yetis, and much more! Each camper will contribute their own chapters to compile a full-color magical bestiary for fans of the novels and the hit graphic novels.
