Lumberjanes Book Eight

Friendship to the max returns in this deluxe collection of three beloved Lumberjanes graphic novels!

When a mysterious compass splits the Roanokes apart, Molly worries her relationship with Mal may be driving a wedge between her friends—that is, until a lonely explorer with an army of mechanical butlers puts their reunion at risk! Then, the Janes discover a hidden community of magical Pookas with plans to impersonate them and take over Miss Qiunzella’s for good. And finally, Ripley finds herself questioning whether being one-of-a-kind makes her stand out…or leaves her behind, especially after meeting a Zebracorn who can fit into any crowd.

Step back into the world of Lumberjanes with New York Times–bestselling author Lilah Sturges and acclaimed artist polterink, as they deliver three unforgettable adventures in one stunning volume!
