Diana and the Island of No Return by Aisha Saeed
4.0
Thank you NetGalley, Aisha Saeed, and Random House Children for allowing me to read this book.
What if I told you that the world was in danger, and it was up to a master potions maker, a scholar, and a warrior to save it? How about if I told you that those three were just kids? That is what happens in Diana and the Island of No Return.
This book is a fun Mid-grade story that follows Wonder Woman herself, well, more like Wonder Girl, as Diana is still a kid. She and her friend Sakina find a mysterious boy hiding on the island. He pleads for their help and they agree. This follows the three kids and their adventures in learning to trust each other and themselves and saving the lives of those they love in the process.
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It was a fun, fast paced adventure that I think kids and adults alike would enjoy. We all know who Wonder Woman is, but this story gives us a glimpse of what she was like before she donned the boots and lasso. It was a story of trust, friendship, and finding your inner strength.
This book was definitely action packed and so there was never a lull in the story. The one thing that I did notice was a times the author was a bit redundant. The same information that I had just read, would be said again a few sentences later. This could be to remind the intended audience, of 8-12 year olds what was going on.
All in all, I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait to follow Diana in her next adventure.
