Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed by Laurie Halse Anderson

5.0

Joining the ranks of YA and middle grade authors writing for DC, Laurie Halse Anderson brings her characteristic grit and bigheartedness to the Wonder Woman origin story. With gorgeous illustrations and color palette by Leila Del Duca, Diana's journey takes her from Themyscira to a refugee camp to an apartment in Queens, where she encounters a new kind of villain: child traffickers. Despite the fantasy of the Amazonian princess, Anderson does not back away from the very real concerns of Diana's neighborhood, including gentrification, food deserts, policing, and language barriers. And if all that sounds serious, it ends with a fantastic fight scene!
