Super cute. I love the random deep cuts for the adults. Shea Fontana is an excellent kids writer. Both simple and entertaining but also deals with more complex issues. Big fan of this series.

I read this with my five-year-old twins, who really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the parallels to The Odyssey (which prompted a lot of explaining to the kids on my part and resulted in my bringing home my Odyssey graphic novel to read with them next, so yay for introducing young kids to classic literature!). The little Homeric easter eggs were well done. Overall, this was a fun read--fast-paced and not too serious. I do wish that the book dealt a little more with Wonder Woman's stress over being asked to do everything at once and her wish to just have some quiet time to herself and with her friends. Of the three Super Hero Girls graphic novels we have read so far, only one--the one about Atlantis--has really dealt with the everyday struggles the heroes face. I would like to see more of that in other volumes.

A great introduction to these characters for younger girls (and guys). Lots of situational comedy. However, I found it strange that they made Black Canary a villain (while keeping so many other characters as superheroes who do not end up becoming superheroes). I also thought the entire side story of battle of the bands was unnecessary.
Fun read.

Still very fun - I really love the art and colors in this series - though I think I preferred the first one's story a bit more.

My daughter loved it. We had a ton of fun reading this together, and it's got a five-year-old wanting to read 128 page books! Recommended!

Who wouldn't want to attend a super fun slumber party at Themyscira? All of the superheroes at Super Hero High are super pumped for a slumber party this weekend....that is, until things start to go wrong. Batgirl's Batplane goes missing. Professor Etrigan is nowhere to be found and all signs point to him having stolen the Batplane...but why?

This is another cute installment in this graphic novel series. It continues to show the superheroes honing their skills and learning to work together to achieve a common goal. The artwork follows along with the other graphic novels in this series and the movies that have been released in this franchise. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a series for your children, or if you want a quick, fun read for yourself.
