Diana and the Island of No Return by Aisha Saeed

4.0

Diana gets down on herself often because her mother, the Queen, will not allow her to train to be a warrior on their island of Themyscira. Only women live on this island and their annual festival is just about to start. Prior to this festival the Amazons and many other strong and empowering women are getting ready. Diana's best friend Sakina is sailing in just in time for it to begin. The two are beyond excited to be together again, but when Diana travels off to go check in on her wolf, Bitini, she spots a boy. A boy on their island where only women are allowed... Soon Diana and Sakina learn that this boy must return Diana to his small island of Sáz to save his people before a demon destroys everything. This demon is beyond powerful, and he is made of vapor so taking him down is not going to be as easy as the three of them thought!

This book is more than just an adventure, it leaves you wanting to know what happens next without realizing what time it is. It was definitely a page-turner and I am sure students will love the length of it too. I loved the end of the story and the preview of the next book in this new series. I am looking forward to it!
