Being a child of the 80's I recall watching this character on television, however there are elements to these stories that differ greatly, I think the character has more depth and there is a greater link to mythology than I can recall. I am not however a reader of the traditional comics, so maybe this character is true to the comic version of the superhero. As a set of readers, they are quite good. The topic is engaging and the character of Wonder Woman is strong, fair and wise. Each book has fact files at the back to fill in the reader a little more about the new characters and Wonder Woman's tools. There are also some very good questions and writing prompts that go beyond comprehension of the story and challenge values and opinions. Text is at a medium level of understanding, and words that may be of a slightly higher order are included in a glossary at the back. Nicely illustrated by Dan Schoening in a fairly true to form comic style using bold lines and colours.
