Greg’s mom calls a family meeting to determine what to do with their share, proposing home improvements and then overruling the family’s cartoonish wish lists and instead pushing for an addition to the kitchen. When Great Aunt Reba dies, she leaves some money to the family. The Heffley family’s house undergoes a disastrous attempt at home improvement. While there’s nothing here that radically redefines the character or breaks narrative ground, it’s refreshing to have a Wonder Woman story for kids that gives them a proper steppingstone into the fandom.Ī cute and brightly rendered bit of backstory for DC’s Amazon warrior. Diana presents white, but there is racial diversity apparent in the secondary cast of characters. Young readers intimidated by the PG-13 rating applied to Patty Jenkins’ 2017 film will find a brightly colored and softly structured entry point here.

Ying’s comic panels move effectively, conveying action and emotion with ease, while the Hales craft a pleasant, upbeat adventure for Diana that doesn’t lean too heavily on Wonder Woman lore to work. Diana and her new pal, Mona, enjoy each other’s company, but Mona may not be as innocent as she seems. After mixing clay with wet sand to sculpt another young girl to talk to, Diana is shocked when her sculpture springs to life. Too old to be considered the village baby but too young to be trained in combat, Diana spends her days trying to stay out of trouble.

Not quite Wonder Woman yet, this preteen princess of the Amazons is finding it more and more difficult to find her place on their isolated island. A young Diana of Themyscira makes an unusual friend.
