They face off with another cabin, specifically one girl who holds a grudge against them all. However, the story very much reflects on assumptions and misconceptions people have about one another. Specifically, how these assumptions and misconceptions can lead to trouble. The illustrations and colours are whimsical and more subtle than in previous works. There are more brown hues until the end when rainbows become important. Colour helps to break the cycle of anger, dislike, and jumping to conclusions. Even the plot about the bird is about assuming an incorrect motive. Is the bird dangerous, or is there another reason for its bizarre actions? I also like the power of being inclusive, how much being honest about yourself can help to place you where you belong. With many of the campers being accepting, welcoming and loving. This graphic novel has such a beautiful message, and these powerful women are awesome. Ripley is my favourite, I love her innocence, nonchalance, her belief in others and the power of friendship. The comedy in this one keeps you laughing and interested in the plot. Especially the trouble the little kittens cause, once they start displaying their powers. There is a glitter bomb, a giant moose, and a little bit of romance. All high points. I will have to return to volume 2, so I can get a bit more back story. Where the first graphic novel did not wow me, every one since seems to be getting more and more interesting.
