Diana and the Island of No Return by Aisha Saeed
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley and Random House Books for Young Readers for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book was so fun! Diana and the Island of No Return was a fast-paced, action-packed story that had me hooked in the short time it took to read it. I really enjoyed reading about Diana before she became Wonder Woman. Essentially, this book is about how Diana and her friends save the people of a neighboring island from a demon, who has come to capture her. With a bit of luck and a lot of wits and courage, the trio manages to save the day despite the odds.
This was really immersive and wonderful to read, and despite the book seeming almost repetitive at times, I loved the way Aisha Saeed portrayed young Diana, with her keen sense of justice and her do-what-must-be-done attitude. Her friendships with Sakina and Augustus only added to the story, as they faced the demon and the challenges that come with ensuring his defeat.
I truly delighted in reading this book, and I would definitely recommend it to others who enjoy reading either middle-grade adventure/fantasy books, or about strong female leads.
