Lumberjanes
"Cryptids, and kittens, and costumes, on my! Neither rain nor heat nor mischievous faeries can put a damper on the fun at Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady Types! Jo, April, Molly, Mal, and Ripley are helping throw a huge, mid-summer costume bash with the rest of the Lumberjane scouts, but the decorations, snacks, and supplies keep going missing, thanks to some pesky faeries! Then, the Roanoke scouts have been cooped up inside FOREVER in the biggest rainstorm of the summer, but when a litter of mysterious, spiky green kittens wash up on their doorstep, it's up to Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley to get the kittens back home again (even though Ripley wouldreally like to keep them, obviously!)"--Provided by publisher.
