I might have squealed in excitement when I saw this book at ALA. Could there really be anything better than a Lumberjanes novel? If so, I don't know what it would be!

So Unicorn Power! basically takes place in the universe of the Lumberjanes graphic novels. If you haven't read the graphic novels you may be a little lost as there is very little catch up here. We are thrown right into a new adventure with April, Jo, Mal, Molly and Riply. This adventure involves unicorns that smell like sweat sock soup, a mountain that disappears while you are climbing it, and cloud people. In other words, just a regular day for our intrepid hard core lady types.

Tamaki has perfectly captured the essence of the Lumberjanes, you can tell she had to have been a fan to start with. I adored the story and the illustrations. We do get a little more information about the girls, but mostly it is adventure and Friendship to the Max!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this book.

I love the Lumberjane graphic novels. It was a weird transition to go from graphic novel to novel. I felt like I was missing something. I think it will be a popular series in the library. I just cannot decide if I like the graphic novels better.

This book is so perfect. Mariko Tamaki perfectly captures the voices of the characters and the themes of the comics. This is a must have for middle school and high school libraries.

This book captures the spirit of the Lumberjanes comics so perfectly. I absolutely loved the plot of this middle grade novel, really enjoyed seeing more of the character's backstory and the drawings throughout were awesome. Basically, if you're already a fan of the Lumberjanes comics, you'll love this, and if you like girl power, friendship, kindness and unicorn-laden adventures, you need to read this book ASAP!
