But what they don’t know is that the Pookas are tired of hiding, and they’ve found the perfect way to join the outside world...by impersonating the Lumberjanes themselves and taking over Camp! To reclaim their identities, the ’Janes will have to work together to remember who they really are...and to help another group of friends accept themselves, too, in a story about looking inside yourself and learning to love who you meet there.

While Jo, Ripley, Mal, Emily and Hes from the Zodiac cabin are hiking through the woods in search of proof of extraterrestrial life, the rest of the ‘Janes are setting out on a hunt of their own, after Freya! The supposed goddess has catnapped Marigold and disappeared off into the forest. It’s up to Diane, April, and Molly to rescue Barney’s kitten!

Emily of Zodiac is convinced that there's an alien in the woods, but Jo isn't so sure, so the two Cabins split up to look for clues! This might be just the chance Hes needs to get Mal alone and ask for some... relationship advice.

Having lost their magical, portal-spotting spyglass (borrowed from Bear-Woman, natch), April, Jo, Ripley, Molly and Mal are stuck in the Land of Lost Things for the foreseeable future! Surrounded by dinos and other dangerous critters and with the snow piling up around them, Mal is beating herself up for getting them in this mess in the first place...but can she come up with a plan to redeem herself, and get them all back home to summertime and the (relative) safety of the Lumberjanes Camp?

With all the Lumberjanes together in The Land of Lost Things, there is only one clear option when stuck in a pocket dimension—explore! But being in another dimension is dangerous, and when Ripley wanders off on her own into the middle of a bitter-cold pocket-dimension winter, the Roanokes'' fun vacation to another realm might end up being too cool to handle!

In her quest to face her fears, Mal has stumbled into the most frightening place of all: the Land of Lost Things. In this pocket dimension, time moves faster than in the real world, and dinosaurs still rule supreme. None of the Roanokes have ever gone dimension-tripping by themselves before, much less accidentally! It’s up to Jo, April, Ripley, and Molly to find a way to get Mal back home, safe and (hopefully) sound!

When the Roanoke scouts run into a mysterious and dangerous creature in the woods, they barely escape with their hides. Heart pumping and dizzy with adrenaline, Mal decides that she needs to work on being braver. More proactive. A girl of action! A hardcore lady-type! And she’s going to do it all by herself, because that never goes wrong.

Trying to pull off a last-minute party is like paddling upstream...against a waterfall...in a rainstorm. Throwing together a last-minute theatrical production is like doing all that with an umbrella instead of a paddle, and your shipmates are all ducks. If there’s anyone who’s prepared to sail through these metaphorical eddies, though, it’s April, in service of her BFFL Jo’s birthday!

April’s elaborate plans for Jo’s birthday are well underway, and it’s all camper and cryptid hands on deck to pull off the greatest party of all time! But when Mal, Barney, Jo, and Jen become shipwrecked on a mysterious desert island, they have to find a way back before the party is over!

With April’s movie night dreams dashed by clumsy yetis, she sets her sights on a different scheme for Jo’s birthday. Mal is on distraction duty, but their river rafting badge winds up off course. Stranded on an island unknown to Lumberjanes, will Jo, Barney, Jen, and Mal be able to get back to camp in time for the festivities? And does Jo even want to?

It’s almost Jo’s birthday, and for April that can only mean one thing: their yearly birthday movie night tradition! Now, she just has to figure out how to have movie night at camp, with no TV and no electricity! Luckily, though, there’s the rest of Roanoke cabin and yeti friends to help make it happen!

An ancient Greek goddess has kidnapped Ripley, believing her to be the source of ultimate magic power! It’s up to the ‘Janes, Ripley, and some magic kitties to stop her from leeching all the magic from the forest.

Ripley is missing, and the Roanokes are hot on her trail, except that the place that they’re headed...isn’t really a place?

The mysterious, newly-unfrozen statue woman the ‘Janes tracked down with their treasure map has absconded with Ripley! It’s up to the rest of the Roanokes to figure out where they’ve gone, with the help of Diane’s Ancient Greek expertise (and exasperation).

April, Mal, and Ripley break the surface and see the light of day once more—but how will they get back to the Mess Hall without breaking Jen’s rule about setting foot outside? Meanwhile, in the Mess Hall itself, chaos builds across the tabletop world of Panterra, leaving Jo, Diane, and Barney grappling for power.

When the yetis are kicked out of their humble treehouse abode, it’s up to Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley to get them back where they belong amongst the trees... by challenging them to a roller derby match! Collects issues #33-36.

Deep into their spelunking mission, April, Mal and Ripley are fighting to find their way topside, and back to the safety of the mess hall before anyone realizes they’re missing. Meanwhile, the others’ game of Penterra is getting a bit high stakes, particularly since they’re playing against an ultra-competitive goddess!
