Perfect for young fans of Wonder Woman who aren't yet ready for Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer (also very good).

Full of the Hales' signature artwork and hopeful messaging. Diana is lonely as the only child on Themiscyra and decides to make herself a friend out of clay. But that friend is a prankster, urging Diana to do things she's not comfortable with and that harm her fellow Amazons/their work.

Strong messaging about friendship and peer pressure, without feeling like moralizing.


I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun, cute graphic novel about a young Diana aka Wonder Woman. She's feeling left out because she's the only child so she creates a friend for herself who gets her into all kinds of mischief and more. Diana learns a couple of valuable lessons by the end.

I have been on the Diana Prince train ever since the new Wonder Woman movie came out and I have no plans on jumping off any time soon! This graphic novel was adorable. The writing was quick and easy and the illustrations were great. The story was fun and I loved seeing Diana as a little girl. We definitely get to see a glimpse of the women Diana will eventually become, but this was a fun peek into her childhood. I would definitely recommend this graphic novel to anyone whose a fan of the movies, original comics or just WW in general!

ARC via Netgalley. ADORABLE. What a perfect middle-grade take on Wonder Woman! Diana, as the only child on an island of immortal warrior women, is lonely. She's too old for the games she used to love, but too young to take part in adult life, and she feels like her mother isn't making time for her like she used to. When her attempt to make a friend out of clay (like her mother made Diana) succeeds, it seems too good to be true! ...and maybe it is, since her new friend's games are a little mean. Can Diana stand up to her friend? Victoria Ying's art is a gorgeous match for the story, and all in all I would love to hand this book to any young superhero fan.

What a great story of a young Diana that will resonate with kids. You don't need any outside knowledge of the Wonder Woman comics to be able to follow it, though fans will find a lot to be excited about as well. Loneliness, not being good enough, and vying for parental attention are some of the themes that are just as relevant to kids as the young Amazon. Handled with appropriate seriousness and weight, it's not too dark or violent for its intended middle grade range.

The Hales have done it again! Their latest creation centers around Diana, the Amazon princess better known as Wonder Woman, as she grows up the only child on the female warriors' mystical island. Diana is so desperate for a friend her age that she forms one out of clay--but trouble ensues when Diana starts to suspect that Mona doesn't have the island's best interests at heart. What follows is a sweet but suspenseful story about peer pressure and self respect. Readers will relate to Diana's loneliness and thirst to be treated like an adult, and of course Diana will appeal to fans of superheroes and Greek mythology alike. The illustrations, while not groundbreaking, are bright and engaging and help bring the Amazonian paradise (with just a hint of danger) to life. Ages 8 to 12.

Diana: Princess of the Amazons is just too cute. My nine year old daughter would love this story and the drawings are fun and colorful. As the only child among the Amazons, Diana's life is lonely without any playmates. Her mother, Queen Hippolyta and her endless number of aunts spend their days training and dealing with adult responsibilities. Diana is bored with all the studying she does and tired of spending her time alone. Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Diana finds herself a playmate but things are not all hunky dory. Life lessons come fast and hard as Diana is forced to deal with the consequences of her actions. I really enjoyed the story and I would happily pass it on to my children to enjoy knowing that it has a moral to the tale. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

Diana has never felt like she has fit in on Themyscira. Being the only kid on the isle makes it impossible to find a friend to play with and lately her mother and all her aunties have been way to busy for her.

That changes when Diana makes herself a friend named Mona out of clay and sand…the biggest surprise is that Mona actually comes to life! But Diana soon learns that having a friend is a lot harder then you would think!

This was such a cute read! It’s perfect for younger fans of Wonder Woman. The art work is super adorable and the story was really good too. It had a lot of important life lessons. It would be perfect for middle schoolers as well as older elementary students!

*Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this book!*

What a fun graphic novel! The plot and illustrations were appealing. Kids will definitely relate to Diana's feelings of frustration and wanting to prove herself, as well as enjoy the bright, adorable illustrations.
I read an ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This is a cute story for middle-grade readers. I am a big fan of Shannon Hale, and I couldn't wait to read her take on Wonder Woman. Older readers might find the plot predictable and simplistic. Fans of Hale and Telgemier will enjoy this light-hearted story. I was disappointed that there wasn't much action. Also, I would love to see Diana use her powers. However, this is a good story, and younger graphic novel readers will enjoy it.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel, the illustrations are great. With the success of Wonder Woman in theaters this is a great follow up piece for the elementary age group. I can see many girls reading this, especially because there is another movie coming out. I hope we see more books about Diana from this duo.

We are such big Wonder Woman fans that this was an easy review for us. Diana: Princess of Amazons is such a fun combination of mischief and magic. Kids who like superheroes, graphic novels and adventure will love Diana.

It's funny. It's full of adventure. The characters are fun and authentic. It felt like Diana was a girl we could relate to. Readers who like DC Comics Super Hero Society, Raina Telgemeier, and Shannon Hale's previous books should grab this right away.

The two graphic novel readers in my house are very excited to find out if this is a series!

3rd and 5th grader approved!

This was a great telling of young Diana full of adventure and beautiful artwork. The themes touch on much one would expect for a child all alone without other children and a mother just wanting to keep her precious gift safe for as long as possible. I have and will continue to recommend Hale's work to young and older readers alike.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Diana, Princess of the Amazons is a cute graphic novel following an 11-year-old Diana A.K.A Wonder Woman as she struggles with being the only child on the entire island of Themyscira. This book was such a fun time, and I imagine that for the right age range, it would be even more incredible! I truly don't have too much to say about this one. It probably won't be one of the more memorable things I've read, but I enjoy reading any kind of take on a superhero, and this one was no different!

**Disclaimer: I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.**

This is a great graphic novel to introduce kids to comics and well-known characters. Young Diana is relatable and her story provides valuable lessons for children in regards to relationships with friends and parents.

I loved it! This is a great graphic novel for kids. The story is fun and sweet with lessons about the influence of other people and communicating your feelings with your parents. The art style is also really cute. I'm not sure if this is supposed to fit into any specific DC canon, but I think any young comic reader could read this with or without prior knowledge of Wonder Woman.

3.5 stars

This cute, middle grade graphic novel focused on Wonder Woman was full of heart.

Artwork: ★★★
Pacing: ★★★★★
Story: ★★★★

Diana is the only child in a community of Amazon warrior women, and she's not exactly having the best time. To put it simply, she's bored. Life isn't exciting when you're the only kid in the world and all of the grown-ups are too busy to play.

So, upon hearing the origin story from her mother that Diana was formed from clay and a wish, Diana decides to make her own clay "friend." She molds her friend together and wishes for "Mona" to be a real girl.

Mona animates to life! All of the sudden, Diana has a friend for all of her adventures.

But, as Diana soon learns, having a friend is harder than it looks...

I found Diana: Princess of the Amazons to be a refreshing a cute middle grade graphic novel. The art was adorable and easy to grasp at a glance, and the story moved along at a fast pace. This would be the perfect novel to read aloud to a younger child--they'd love the pictures, and wouldn't get bored by too much text!

Thank you to DC Entertainment for an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.

I've really been enjoying these YA & MG graphic novels of DC characters and this one is no exception. Diana really comes into her own and learns how to live up to the Amazon legacy all around her. It's a nice, solid graphic novel for middle graders. It does skew a bit younger, which I found refreshing.

Diana is too young to join in the activities of the other Amazons, and she has no companions her own age. She tries to fashion a friend for herself out of clay and sand, attempting to perform magic to breathe life into the figure, but her longing for a friend may plunge the entire island into chaos.

I loved this graphic novel! The artwork is colorful and vibrant, showing the clear action and the emotional responses of the characters. It really brings the story to life and creates an energetic mood.

The plot is excellent, with many moving parts that propel the story forward. Each scene is interesting and full of excitement and mystery.

I loved Diana's young character! You can really feel the struggle she is working through as she tries to figure out who she is and what her place is among the Amazons. She has such a strong personality, and her courage begins to blossom even while she is fighting for her own self-worth. Her emotional reactions as she interacts with other characters are powerful and pull the reader into her shoes.

I really hope there will be more graphic novels about Young Diana!

So cute with a great message about believing in yourself! I love the Hale's version of Diana, she is a pre-teen who is starting to come into her own but is feeling left out and looked over so she makes a friend but this friend starts to cause problems for her -- resulting in Diana having to trust herself.
