Amazon Rocks w/their DC SuperHero Girls bk collection

Shea Fontana DC SuperHero Girls are the best. The story lines are interesting & quick reads. My 6 yr old grandaughter can read lots of them by herself & I love the criminal/criminals are brought to justice in a manner that's super & not violent. POW! Shea Fontana has done it once again. Ty Amazon for carrying her books. 💖

Graphic Mistake

I wish I could rate it lower!

I have seldom spent such a sufferable time in reading a book: I forced myself to read this "novel" to the end. I mean, this is WRITING?! And one reviewer states the story is of interest to middle graders--I dare to say otherwise.

Although a five-star rater says her daughter didn't have trouble with understanding the story lines, my immediate thought was, "WHAT story lines?!" The story is up, down, and sideways; one cannot follow the story because there isn't one, per se. Yes, I know this is fantasy, but even fantasy has to be followable. When the reader thinks the story is going down one direction, the goal is moved and the reader now has to travel down another alley, but with no tie-in to the previous and to no satisfaction. Here are two other descriptors that are very apt: shallow, confusing.

When will kids finally get wise and realize they've been had or duped by what is often called a graphic "novel"?! I keep reading these popularized incomprehensible literary fluffs--it's sorta my job--and I still find them very unfulfilling. (And I do know a thing or two about writing, and read and evaluate tons of children's books.) Even though I took the time to graph all the relationships of Wonder Woman in this story, the way characters are introduced is inexcusably confusing and unjustified. Such "literature" will NOT help children read, especially those having difficulty with this skill.

Truly Heroic Book

My 4-year-old daughter loved this and I had fun reading it to her. Shea Fontana did a great job building an exciting story with a great ending that more people could learn from.

My daughter LOVED this story

I read this with my 8 yr old because she is a HUGE DC Super Hero Girls fan. She has a bunch of the dolls, Legos and playsets. When I took her to see Wonder Woman she even brought her DC Super Hero Wonder Woman doll with her.

This wording probably works a little better for starting around the Middle School Age but my daughter didn’t have trouble understanding the story lines. There is a huge bit that involves the Greek Gods and thanks to Rick Riordan she was very familiar with them and their background but if your child isn’t they may need a crash course to keep everything straight and really get all the context. You could easily see a spin off here. Yeah! More toys for me to buy lol

The graphics and color pallet worked well with this age level story and really helped the plot and characters come to life more. Overall it’s just a fun story.

Great Book Series! We own them all!

My 10 year old Granddaughter LOVES these books! She has read some of the regular Wonder Woman Comics, and a few others, These are great for her because they are more her age range like when the comics were first written (decades ago). My 12 yr old daughter also likes them but no as much as my granddaughter. Thanks for creating comics for the kids that they were originally intended for.

DC Superhero Girls continues to get an A +

Pretty fantastic little book. Your kids will like it. If you like comics or mythology at all, you'll like it as well.

DC Superhero Girls is the best version of several characters--Harley, Ivy, Katana, Bumblebee currently being written. The whole thing is charming, clever, and fun.
