DC Super Hero Girls: Hits and Myths by Shea Fontana

3.0

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.
