The campers of Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady-Types are having another adventure, this time on the sea. New counsellor, Seafarin' Karen is battling some selkies and the girls must work together to deal with these magical creatures. Graphic novels are quick reads (for me) and as usual, my favourite part is the exclamatives based on famous women, some of whom I have to look up. But any book that gets you researching is probably a good book.
Annie Edison Taylor - American school teacher, went over Niagara Falls in a barrel
Ching Shih - Chinese pirate in early 19th century
Grace O'Malley - lord of the O' Maille dynasty in west of Ireland, in 16th century
Gertrude Bell - English writer and traveller, archaeologist
Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz - first woman to sail single handed around the world
I like the mix of supernatural that happens at the camp and that everyone just accepts, after freaking out somewhat. The High Council is coming to inspect the camp, the neighbour campers have kittens but they are not your ordinary kittens. Hijinks ensue. I feel like I missed a few of the famous women exclamatives but these were three very good ones!
Agatha Christie - wrote mysteries
Katie Sandwina - circus strongwoman from Austria
Valentina Tereshkova - first woman to fly in space, Russian
