This issues was a lot like On A Roll but much better. There's not much character development or strong moments, it's just a wacky adventure. However the art is much better than that volume and it is way more enjoyable. It's kinda just a fun little adventure, nothing more. Little to no crazy mysteries or worldbuilding. The intro is pretty strong, but kinda sacrifices any further development to focus on the "monster of the week". Like On a Roll this volume feels kinda out of place worlbuilding for some reason. It was cute to see the new character who had a little group of the camps creatures. But it feels super out of place, because nothing about the her fantasy element is really explained. Why was she there? And the resolution of that arc kinda comes out of no where and ends kinda abruptly. The last chapter is really good though. It's a Zodiac based one and is way better in almost every way and is more grounded.

I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as I did earlier volumes in the series.

Probably closer to a 2.5. The main arc in the collection seem a bit short and superficial, but I did enjoy the side adventure with Diane and Cassandra.

Counselor Jen is concerned about the Roanokes. In order to get their spirits up, she takes them on a wild goose chase to find a jackalope, whether they exist or not. Yet what they find is a young lady with a unique assortment of creature friends who is missing her father. The Roanokes reluctantly leave her behind, but are soon roused by the young lady's creatures to go and help her.
On this adventure, there is still a great sense of heart and wonder signature of the previous volumes. However, the timing of this volume is not as well-paced as previous volumes. Regardless, this is still well-worth a read.
