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!

Collects Lumberjanes: The Infernal Compass, Lumberjanes: The Shape of Friendship, and Lumberjanes: True Colors.

Her book, Flung Out of Space: Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith, won the 2023 Eisner Award for Best Reality-Based Work and was a New York Times Notable Book of 2022.  
A born and bred Midwesterner, Grace lives in Columbus, Ohio where she can often be found eating ice cream or petting an animal.

Gus Allen is co-creator and original illustrator of the Lumberjanes series. Any rumors you may have heard about him such as "he's not real", "he's just 3 possums stacked on top of each other in a trench coat" and "he's actually really nice when you get to know him" are patently false. He was last seen being a very normal human person in Richmond, VA (which does coincidentally have a large possum population).

Lilah Sturges is the author of numerous comics, as well as short stories, essays, and two novels. She lives in Austin, Texas.
