Lumberjanes: The Infernal Compass #[nn]

In "The Infernal Compass," the Lumberjanes face a mysterious compass that isolates them one by one, leading each to a strange robot who offers tempting distractions before binding them. These robots are the creations of Dame Henrietta Boniface Nibley, a reclusive explorer who’s given up on friendship after endless lost expeditions. When Molly reaches her, she challenges the dame’s belief that solitude is strength—turning the infernal machine into something unexpected.

In "Up All Night Badge," Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley sneak out of Roanoke cabin under cover of night, drawn by the mystery of the woods. When a pack of three-eyed foxes attacks and vanishes in smoke, leaving behind the cryptic warning "Beware the Kittens Holy," the girls must confront the strange and shifting nature of the forest. Their journey leads them to the enigmatic Bear Woman, and when they return to camp, their misadventure brings them before headmaster Rosie—whose calm warning hints that the summer’s wonders may be far stranger than they imagined.
