I enjoyed the art. As an adult, I thought the story was a little thin and predictable, but I think that kids will like the book - especially Wonder Woman fans.

Nicely done! Emotionally complex and age appropriate for the 7-10 crowd. Would be a little beyond a preschooler. Save for later.

Thanks to NetGalley and DC Comics for the review copy of Diana: Princess of the Amazons by Shannon Hale & Dean Hale and illustrated by Victoria Ying. All opinions are my own.
This graphic novel is about Diana, daughter of the queen of the Amazons. Diana hates that she is the only kid among the Amazons. She builds a friend out of clay and wishes for her to come to life. She is shocked when it works and is delighted to finally have a friend! However, things may not be as they seem. Instead of relieving her boredom, her new friend may just lead her into trouble.
The illustrations in this book are wonderful! If you pay close attention, there are some subtle clues in a few of the illustrations that help the reader figure out the ending. This story has a great lesson about friendship and choosing your friends wisely. I think many kids will be able to relate to feeling torn about a friend the way that Diana does in this story. This book would be ideal for grades 3 -6.

Cute! A little surface-level, I feel like the themes could've been pushed more without making it inappropiate

Read for reader's advisory. Beautiful illustrations and fun quick read. Great for children who like Wonder Woman and mythology.
