![]() Through what seems a magical miracle, Diana wishes for a friend and Mona comes into the picture. ![]() What happens next is all too relatable for kid and adult readers adults get busy, kids feel ignored and unloved, then secrecy, self-doubt, anger, and bad decisions usually follow. As there is no alternative but to feel lonely, surrounded by aunties who can’t possibly remember what it means to be a kid, Diana depends on the company and attention of her mom, Hyppolita, the queen of Themyscira, to feel truly connected. Readers meet a very young Diana living on the island Themyscira, the only Amazonian that isn’t thousands of years old. Shannon and Dean Hale’s Diana: Princess Of The Amazons services both these needs with a story that is relevant and engaging for readers of all ages and genders. There are even fewer female superhero stories written by authors that propose the very true reality that so many need to accept: books are for readers, regardless of gender. ![]() Although so many of us are, or know, superhero fans, there are not enough female superhero anything (books, costumes, figurines, movies, and the list goes on!) for elementary and middle grade kids. ![]()
