DESCRIPTION: The Lumberjanes of Roanoke cabin were looking forward to a nice, normal, and magic- and monster-free breakfast with their friends of Zodiac cabin. (It will also be a good chance to see how new Lumberjane Barney is settling into camp.) But instead of hugs and laughs, all they get is cold stares; everyone has been turned to solid stone! Just then, they see an old frenemy wandering around camp: the perpetual teen goddess Diana, who was supposed to have been exiled back to Olympus. Is she responsible for this? If not, can she find out who - or what - is? And will they ever get to share waffle sticks with Zodiac?

REVIEW: Like the previous installments, this is a fun little adventure of monsters, mayhem, and friendship to the max. There's some minor character progression along the way as the girls deal with imperfect families. Mostly, though, it's just an amusing diversion, a nice and needed dose of whimsy.
