librarianryan 's review for:

Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed by Laurie Halse Anderson
3.0

This was an interesting version of Wonder Woman's start off story. It didn't go so far back as creation even though they do briefly touch on her being made out of clay and being fired upon by her mother. We do have Steve but Steve is not a love interest. Steve is actually married to another man and acts as a stepfather if you will. After she escapes her home and escaped baby the wrong word but kind of fits she gets stuck in our modern world. She has to learn to navigate this world and she's a teenager and the way they say things in the book to describe teenagers in her home is on she's a changeling. Where is we all know that's standard. She come to the u.s. as a refugee and starts getting involved with some nonprofit organizations feeding children excetera. She's amazed and not in a good way the way modern society works as compared to her home. You don't see a lot of action and when you do it's really fast not really well explain and and all I'm seeing what they just left it out. You get just a touch of the Wonder that is Wonder Woman. Overall I did like the story I think it's a great first step. However I wasn't completely wowed. I loved the world that Anderson has built for Diana and I want to see explored more. I want to see more of Diana Prince as a teenager as she learned how to navigate modern American society. I liked that there was no love interest. I love the artwork. All in all the book works and we'll find many fans.
