**** (Good)
DESCRIPTION: As their summer at Lumberjanes camp continues, none of the girls at Roanoke cabin - April, Mal, Jo, Molly, and Riley - can complain of boredom; between dimensional portals, were-bears, mermaid bands, godlings, and the odd dinosaur encounter, there's never a dull moment at Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady-Types. When April sets out to earn a group badge for knot tying, they meet the camp's newest counselor, Seafarin' Karen - an encounter which, once more, pulls the Roanoke girls into an adventure full of magic, danger, and friendship to the max.
REVIEW: The series remains a light, fun, and quick read, never short on humor or adventure. There are greater arcs - the secrets hidden by the former camp counselor/were-bear, the unknown forces at work in the forest (beyond the dimensional portal "issue" it seems to be experiencing), the possible fates of the girls after camp - and some incremental character development, but for the most part each volume works as a standalone. Like the previous adventures, I found it enjoyable, with fun characters new and old.
