In need of a friend her own age who she can confide in, Diana takes matters into her own hands with a little magic – but things start to get a little muiddyįurthermore, this graphic novel for younger readers is broken into a handful of entertaining stories that not only pay homage to the premise and character of Wonder Woman but as said, it helps ground the character of Diana to the readers. Thought she has a loving mother and many “aunties”, she feels lonely as the only child on the island.

Cut off from the rest of the world, she begins to feel isolate. This graphic novel is wonderful and while it targets younger readers, I personally felt that it targets all comic readers, especially if you’re favourite character is Wonder Woman! Beautifully written by Shannon Hale (Real Friends) and Dean Hale (The Princess in Black), they successfully bring Diana (aka Wonder Woman) to life that makes her quite relatable as the hero she is about to become.Īdding to the book is the wonderful art of Victoria Ying (Tangled) that with colorist Lark Pien, they create another layer for this story that as a result, makes it quite compelling and immersive about a very younger Wonder Woman.Įleven-year old Diana leads an idyllic life on the island of Themyscira.
