Quick Summary of Diana, Princess of the Amazons

Diana is being brought up to be the princess of the Amazons, but she is feeling the loneliness of being the only child Amazonian. She has adults who sometimes can play with her, but there is often more important things to be doing. After hearing the story of her creation, Diana gets an idea on how to solve her problem, but opens up a box of incidents that she did not see coming. It’s a safe read for a younger audience than most hero grpahic novels.

Why Read This Wonder Woman Origin Story

Diana, Princess of the Amazons is a fun read, especially for fun readers. Diana comes off as very relatable as she struggles to connect with the older adults in her community. Stylistically, the artwork is very well done and vivid. There are many lessons within this graphic novel regarding trust, friendship, loneliness, and having fun with parents. This is a great intro into Superhero graphic novels as many of the most popular ones are not appropriate for younger children. Ultimately, I think this is a good read for anyone who wants a fun story for ages 6 and up.

Diana, Princess of the Amazons Review

—————————Contains Spoilers————————————-

Diana’s journey from lonely child to brave Amazonian warrior is a beautiful, simple story with a interesting twist plot. It comes off as so relatable because every kid and adult knows what it’s like to play second fiddle to the loved ones around them. This is a good reminder that the responsibility of this is shared equally by the parents and the kids. It is also an important lesson that kids are always seeking affirmation and acceptance. This may cause them to look for it in undesirable places. Diana looked for it in what turned out to be an old villain of her mother. But these days, escapism comes in many, unhealthy forms.

Shannon Hale (author of Squirrel Girl) is very good at creating graphic novels that can be understood and enjoyed by younger viewers. She does this while maintaining an interesting plot to keep the older kids intrigued. Ultimately, this is a great introduction into long form graphic novel story telling for younger viewers. Also for older children and adults, it is a quick, fun read.
