"The well-developed characters portray strong female role models who value friendship. The characters exhibit equality and acceptance between girls of different ethnicities and sexual orientation in a subtle manner. This fast-paced novel seamlessly mixes fantasy, adventure, and just plain fun!"
"Full of puns, adventure, magical creatures, and girl power aplenty, this novel offers middle-grade readers a new way to enjoy Lumberjanes . . . Tamaki expertly captures the tone of the series, in both its manic plots and its narrative style, and she adds in some meaningful backstory and conflict."
"Mariko Tamaki's novelization brings the Lumberjanes from comic books to fiction in Lumberjanes: Unicorn Power! Enhanced with fantastic illustrations by Brooke Allen, one of the creators of the Lumberjanes comics, Unicorn Power is a hilarious and thoughtfully modern take on the classic summer camp adventure that is destined to delight."
"Fans familiar with the comic series will find all five of the girls fully presented here . . . readers of the series will still want to accompany the girls on another adventure, and newbies to the quintet’s hijinks may find this an appealing invitation to the comics."

Narrator Amanda Leigh Cobb nimbly voices a full cast of larger-than-life characters in this exciting story of summer camp and friendship to the max. When the Lumberjanes set out to climb a mountain that isn't there, they find new friends, unicorns, and adventure. Cobb excels at creating distinctive voices for all five members of Roanoke Cabin, and even during long dialogue sequences the listener can tell who's talking. The secondary characters, including exasperated counselor Jen and brash camp director Rosie, are also perfectly pitched. Cobb’s delivery of narrative is particularly excellent, combining deadpan dry wit and a bubbly cartoon style that mimics the graphic novel origins of the Lumberjanes series. Listening to this production is a treat. N.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

In a winning reversal, a popular graphic-novel series is adapted into a prose novel.At Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Pinniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady Types, the Lumberjanes spend their days like many other scouts: earning badges, enjoying the outdoors, and spending time with friends. While working on their Living the Plant Life badge, friends April, Mal, Molly, Jo, and Ripley discover a field of strange blue flowers being eaten by horribly malodorous—but undeniably adorable—unicorns. There the girls spy a mysterious color-changing mountain marked by an illegible but still ominous sign. The Lumberjanes decide to climb it in hopes of earning their Extraordinary Explorers medal. However, when the sassy scouts find themselves marooned on the mountain, they must use their Lumberjane know-how to save the day. Without missing a beat, this novelization has successfully sustained the fun, feminist feel and lively vernacular of the beloved graphic-novel series, a notable feat. This buoyant adventure will easily draw new readers to the series and should satisfy established followers. With its just-right blend of giggleworthy jokes, LGBTQ-positive characters, and affirmative emphasis on friendship, this middle-grade charmer can make even the coldest, bleakest day feel like a sunny day at summer camp. April and Molly are white; Mal, Jo, and Ripley are girls of color. Awesome to the max! (Fantasy. 7-14)
