This is a great book for young fans of DC Comics!
This is the first book in the DC Super Hero Girls middle grade series. It introduces Wonder Woman, who has just been selected to attend Super Hero High. I loved her! She’s a unique character. She takes everything that people say literally. When they tell her to take a seat, she actually picks up a chair.
This story also featured other DC Comics favourite characters, such as Lois Lane, Barbara Gordon, and, my personal favourite, Harley Quinn.
I really enjoyed the story, even though it is written for middle grade audience. There was a great mystery when Wonder Woman was getting anonymous threats at school.
There were some typos in the story, including spelling Wonder Woman’s name wrong. This is a big problem when the book is aimed at early readers, because they are just learning to read and could get confused. But I still liked the story.

I really enjoyed this. I’ve always loved superheroes because my dad and I would watch all of the movies and tv shows throughout my childhood. When I saw this available as an ebook through OverDrive through my library, I wanted to read it and see how it was. I’m so glad I did because now I want to finish the series and watch the show even though I’m not the correct “age demographic” for it. Solid read! I would recommend it if you’re interested.
Wonder Woman deals with some heavy-ish topics in this considering it’s middle grade. I love how she handled it. I think young people might get even more out of this than I did.

this is cute ^^ glad i got it for my daughter to read.
Better than I'd thought it would be
I've watched this show with my daughter. She's a hug fan so of course I had to get the book series for her.
Shes and advanced reader but gets bored and its hard to get her to read beyond homework. She flew through this book though!
I read it with her and am surprised how much I enjoyed it. I think it's better than the TV show. Fuller characterization and background to make it feel realer.
It also has good modern talking points parents will appreciate like coping with stress, goofing off as kids, and social media attention.
Once we got to the competition it stole my attention away from my adult books and I had to find out what was going to happen.
I'm impressed and am excited to read more of this series with my daughter!

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was when this book made it's way into my inbox, so excited that I found myself replying in silly puns about how Super excited I was that this book was in the world (I know you can't stop hearing Elton John sing 'Your Song' can you? Sorry not sorry) and that I was getting the opportunity to dive into this new world. I am happy to announce that my excitement still holds, this book did not disappoint.
As the title would suggest this particular story revolves around Wonder Woman and her introduction to Super Hero High. Having been essentially isolated while growing up on the idyllic Paradise Island, Wonder Woman longs to see more, learn more, help more, and do more. On her own she applies to the prestigious Super Hero High and is accepted. All the training she has be given during her years on Paradise Island is no match for the world she encounters. A world full of differing opinions, choices, thoughts, abilities, and to top it all of, it's high school!
I loved the naiveness that Wonder Woman brings. She's so strong and powerful in all things but her introduction to a world she has never experienced brings a light heartedness to the story. She's so amazed and exuberant about everything around her she just exudes joy and it makes your heart smile. While there are a lot of light moments there is also a lot of suspense and action, as one would expect when it comes to super heroes. There is a mystery to be solved as well as classes to take (such as making super hero costumes, learning flying tricks, solving riddles, and many more) and friends to be made. This is in the end a book about Wonder Woman discovering her true self and learning about friendship.
On of my favorite things about this book is that it opens up the typically male dominated dark world of the DCU to a new generation and more importantly in my opinion to girls! I loved getting to meet all the characters in a way we have never really seen them before, (not including Superman) they all have that youthful spirit you expect, the joy children and teens should have. The darkness that we have come to know, and in many cases for DC fans love, isn't in these characters. This series isn't about the super heroes fighting their own demons and the demons of others, it is a series about growing up, making friends, finding your path, and becoming who you are meant to be. This isn't the end all be all for Wonder Woman. When you get to the end of this book it is clear that her journey has not ended, it's only just beginning, but the growth she has through this book is wonderful to see.
This is a great read for ANY fan of the DCU. It is not a comic book, this is a middle grade novel so if you aren't typically a comic fan do not let the knowledge that it comes from the DC world to scare you away. I'm overly excited about this book I will admit because I think we need more options like this for young girls. My oldest daughter is extremely interested in Anime, Manga, Comics, Gaming, etc but this is a world that is traditionally 'ruled' over by boys and men so to have a book that she can go to where she can see strong young female super heroes and shows her that she is just as worthy as the male population makes me want to shout about this series to the world. All school libraries should have this on their shelves, it is a book that can be read from anywhere around 9 and up in my opinion, even young high schoolers will find this book enjoyable and worthy. If you have a super hero fan in your house make sure to add this to your home library too and don't be scared that your boys won't like it because it revolves around Wonder Woman, I promise you they will!

One thing you have to keep in mind if you’re going to be reading this book is it’s a children's book.
Which doesn’t make it bad, by any means, it’s just a point, of reference you have to have, keep in mind, to suspend the right amount of disbelief.
for the most part, I thought this book was cute and fun and wonderful, lighthearted easy read.
and if I was between the ages of 7 to 12 you, could not get me away from this series.
But as an adult with more knowledge about the comics. certain things well we’re completely creepy.
like, the idea of Amanda Waller being. a principal of a high school.
this woman is literally evil.
The way that, cyberbullying is handled is although is light it’s well done.
All in all, i’m beyond glad, I read this and it was fun and I’m going to finish. series and especially if you were 7 to 12-year-old who’s into superheroes get them the series they will adore it.

Un peu trop jeunesse a mon goût.
This book turned out to be so much cuter and funnier than I anticipated.
Silly little novel to tie into the DC Super Hero Girls universe.
