Summary
Eleven-year-old Diana leads an idyllic life on the island of Themyscira. Cut off from the rest of the world, she's beginning to feel more and more isolated. Though she has a loving mother and many "aunties," she is an only child. THE only child child on the island, in fact.

After an escapade goes wrong, Diana gets in trouble for not living up to the Amazonian standard. She just can't seem to measure up no matter what she does. Every other person on the island is an adult proficient in their trade and mighty in body, while she is gangly, sometimes clumsy, and not particularly good at anything. She's not Wonder Woman ... yet. What Diana needs is a friend; someone her own age whom she can talk to. But when she decides to take matters into her own hands, she may just make a monster instead of a friend.
Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "In this middle-grade graphic novel, Diana, soon to be Wonder Woman, current princess of the Amazons, is a kid living on the island of Themyscira. With her mother spending less time with her and more time being queen, Diana is starting to feel very lonely. One day, she uses magic to conjure up a new friend. Diana is having a great time with someone her own age, but as their tricks become dangerous, Diana wonders if she's doing the right thing. Finally, the tricks cause a huge problem, and Diana must decide if she will stand up for her aunties and queen or continue down the treacherous path her new friend has created. This inviting introduction to well-known Wonder Woman nicely complicates the classic superhero story and shows young readers that even superheroes can feel lonely and be frustrated by their circumstance. Beautifully colored artwork, featuring clearly choreographed action and expressive, kid-like figures, in easy-to-follow panels makes this particularly well-suited to comic-book newbies. Hand to kiddos eager for an entry into superhero comics.--Traci Glass Copyright 2020 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Indigo-haired Diana, "too old or too young for everything," gets more than she wishes for when she succeeds in breathing life into a clay figure she hopes will be her friend. Diana's the only child among the Amazons, female warriors who never age--and her mother is their queen, with little attention to spare: "Not yet, Diana," she snaps after being asked to play, then turns to a colleague: "Senator, I understand your concern." By contrast, Mona, Diana's clay creation, offers her loyalty and warmth: "We're birds of a feather," she tells Diana. But Mona has no scruples, and making trouble amuses her: "Don't be a wimp," she taunts in one scene. "Aren't Amazons supposed to be brave?" In this smartly paced adventure, the Hales (the Princess in Black series) create a persuasive portrait of a girl torn between her need for companionship and her inner doubts about Mona's demands. Ying (Meow!) draws Diana with polished lines and facial expressions that make her conflicting emotions plain. A suspenseful climax offers action on a supernatural scale, and with an all-female cast of warriors, there's no shortage of role models. Ages 8--12. (Jan.)"
