I read this with my 6 year old and we both really liked it. Totally age-appropriate and with great monster-designs.

Really cute graphic novel about a pre-Wonder Woman story of Diana of Themyscira. I loved the plot and how it dealt with Diana feeling unappreciated and unimportant as the only child on her island. I think the tone and story were excellent and I would love to see more graphic novels like this. Young adventures of super heroes or mythological figures.
I really enjoyed the conflict a lot. And the art is so pretty and engaging.

The book Diana: Princess of the Amazons, tells an origin story of sorts about Wonder Woman. It describes her life on Themyscira as a young teenager, as she tries to make sense of being the only girl her age on the island. It reflects her concerns about how to connect with her mother and other women in her society. Leaning on the story of her own origin, she attempts to make a friend, with interesting results. Overall, I enjoyed this book. I thought the book would be especially appropriate for later elementary or middle school-aged students. It is well written, and I enjoyed the art as well.

This is a very cute middle grade story about Diana, daughter of the queen of the Amazons, Queen Hippolyta, and her journey to find friendship and reconnect with her mother.
I picked it up recently in a comic store on a whim, and I wasn't disappointed.

Really fun superhero/mythology graphic novel. A girl power book for sure! I bought this for my ten-year-old daughter’s birthday and I think she will love it, and I bet her brothers all take turns reading it, too.

This was another book I picked up for my graduate school class. I did have more hopes for it as I LOVE Wonder Woman (though not as much as my brother who named his dog Gal Gadot). And it is intriguing to learn more origin stories.
For younger readers, this is the perfect book. It tackles listening to your conscience. It is short and sweet and the pictures are my favorite part. But I felt like it had some plot holes--or writing that was less than stellar (which I have a hard time saying since Shannon Hale is great!)
