Diana has just turned 16 and she is hoping to come into her Amazonian strength. But when a nearby war brings people to their shores she’s separated from her home and her family.
This story was relevant to a lot going on in the world today and was a quick and entertaining read. Diana wasn’t quite the character I know yet but you can see the beginnings of the amazing person she becomes.
I definitely recommend this one if you’re a fan!

A great addition to any school library! Touches on important themes relevant to today's cultural climate. A great read for any fan of wonder woman, mythology, and social issues.

[Received the arc for an honest review! Thank you, DC Comics and Netgalley!]

This was a super fun read. I was never a big fan of DC super heroes and slowly DC has been getting my heart with these new fun reads and amazing illustrations.

I was not super familiar with Diana's character, only what I've seen on the movies, so this was a good start on how she was on her teen years. She was pushy and annoying, like all teenagers, but also so full of important topics that all teenagers go through (body issues, future expectations, growing up in general).

I adore how she is illustrated, and would very much read more stories by Leila del Duca and Laure HJ Anderson.

This was a solid 3.5 stars.

These DC graphic novels ALWAYS work for me. They are beautiful and lyrical and this one is no exception.

I highly, highly recommend these for YA readers and adult readers alike. This Wonder Woman one was absolutely gorgeous with amazing detail and beautiful writing.

-- these reviews are unfortunately several years past release date (due to the many issues of 2020). Thanks a million to the publishers and Netgalley for the early copy of the book. I look forward to reading more after catching up on my reads.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of this one. The artwork is so beautiful. I felt the story a bit lacking. The artwork is gorgeous so I give more stars for that.

I thought the story of this Wonder Woman adaptation was wonderful. It's always great to see superheros at their uncertain teenage aspects, especially for teen readers. Unfortunately, I wasn't as wild about the illustrations. They just didn't connect for me. Still, a fantastic book.

I love this author and I really adored wonder woman coming of age story and I felt like this author and graphic designer really did this justice!!

I couldn't read this on my kindle, nor could I figure out how to read it any other way. So sorry. I honestly tried, but I never could figure it out. Sorry.

Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed by Laurie Halse Anderson is a graphic novel read by someone who is not a fan of graphic novels, but is a fan of Wonder Woman. As many graphic novels, much of the action is portrayed by pictures rather than words, but this illustrator, Leila Del Duca, seemed to draw everyone as angry, which was not necessarily the facts that were in the story. I found it distracting. It definitely hindered my enjoyment of the story, which was not bad. I understand that art is in the eye of the beholder, but in this case I think it could have been better art for a decent story.

I was invited to read a free ARC of Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed by Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine alone. #netgalley #wonderwomantempesttossed

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this and any other titles you are in charge of.

I have been a huge fan of Laurie Halse Anderson for years. Wintergirls is on my all time favorite list and probably won't ever leave. I will admit, I am NOT a Wonder Woman fan. Or, at least, I haven't been in the past. This was great, though. Beautiful.

Lovely story of Wonder Woman. The story was well-written and the artwork was beautiful. It was very action-packed. I liked it so much that I bought a copy at my local bookstore!

This is probably one of the most unique graphic novels that I've read in terms of adaptations. I absolutely loved it! It was beautifully done and I loved that there was a focus on Wonder Woman being an advocate for social justice issues. There were so many that were covered in this book including the conversation surrounding refugees. Our nation, particularly the United States, is at a cross roads when it comes to having discussions surrounding refugees. This book reminds me and a lot of people that we don't always know or understand the struggles of people especially those who are trying to find solace in other nations. I think that these discussions along with Diana going through her own awkward stages of being a young adult made for a very powerful graphic novel.

I adored this book! I love the commentary on the refugee experience, and I enjoyed getting to know Diana's backstory. I wish the story went a bit slower so that I could get more of the origin story, but I still highly recommend this book!

I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher (DC Comics) in exchange for an honest review. I wish the graphic novel would have been longer! It is a great length, but they story is great, and I would love to read more. Wonder Woman is an interesting and wonderful superhero, I enjoy reading all of her comics. The story went at a good pace, kept me interested the whole time, and had great characters in it. The art is beautiful too. 

5 out of 5 stars. Would highly recommend anyone to read this, even if you are younger or older.

Wonder Woman has become one of my favourite female heroes, kicking butt in a man-centred area.

This graphic novel is a perfect interpretation of Diana Prince during her teenage years, depicting the awkward and trying to find yourself mentality. While it starts in Themyscira, life for Diana changes when she risks her live to save that of refugees stranded in the water, sending her out into the real world. With Diana’s skills, she is placed in camps in New York, assisting undocumented families, tackling issues of human trafficking, and corruption.

While the book is YA-targeted, nothing about it is childish in manor. The language is mature and perfectly encompasses the topics it is tackling.

If this book wasn’t on your radar before, it defiantly should be something for you to check out.

I absolutely ran through this book and loved it! It covers so many important topics and is definitely an essential read to be added to your shelves! I truly enjoyed this!

I didn't dislike it! I appreciated Diana's story and how that related to refugees/immigrants, the art is pretty, I liked two of the characters being named Steve and Trevor, but something about the overall plot didn't completely resonate with me, or wrapped up too quickly.

Young Adult Graphic Novel. Diana, the child of the Amazons, turns 16 and hopes that her body will finally go from changeling to Amazon warrior. After her born-day feast, the Amazons realize that the barrier to their island has been broken by a group of refugees. Determined to help them, she races out to sea to be sure everyone gets on a boat. But then the barrier seals, and Diana is trapped on the other side. She goes with the refugees to a refugee camp, where a UN worker is stunned at her facility with languages. He takes her back to stay with a friend of his in NYC. Once there, Diana is stunned to see homeless and hungry people. She works with her housemates to provide food for the children in the community. But when reports of missing girls start to add up, Diana is determined to act like the warrior she was born to be.

A great retelling of Wonder Woman's origin story. I would love to read more of this storyline. And speaking every language of the world is such an awesome superpower!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read a digital ARC in exchange f or an honest review.

Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed by Laurie Halse Anderson is a great coming of age graphic novel that explores who Diana is before she is truly Wonder Woman. The character and story bring a lot of humanity to a superhero that, while beloved, might be a little intimidating. This version of Diana is a teenager. She is experiencing changes in herself and feels bereft, as there is no one to talk to on Themyscira. No one who understands what she is going through. All she can hope is that when she turns 16, everything will settle and she can know herself again. Instead, life becomes even more difficult when she finds herself torn from everything and everyone that she has ever known when she becomes trapped in the outside world.

I loved how relatable the author made Diana by bringing her back into her teenage years and exploring what it means to grow up. Diving into feeling different from your peers, even if on the surface an island of female warriors seems different from the middle school or high school experience. Ultimately, it is still a group of people that you once felt you belonged in and now find that everything is different. She has to learn about the world as we know it, with war, poverty, conflict, love, compassion, and power.

Wonder Woman is always a feminist, she always fights for those who cannot fight for themselves, and this iteration of Diana is no different. She speaks up for refugees, helps hungry children, and doesn't let the power-hungry push her around. This Diana is a relatable role model for a new generation who I hope will inspire people to stand up for what they believe in and do what is right, whether they have superpowers or not.

This title, like many others in the DC Ink label are graphic novels that will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers regardless of whether they're typically fans of superhero stories. They're all about the struggles of growing up, coming of age, learning about yourself, fighting for what is right, and never letting people who are in the wrong push you into doing something you don't believe in. They all have such great messages packed into enjoyable graphic novels (with lovely art).

The digital version of this graphic novel was provided to me by DC Ink, but that does not affect my review in any way.
