That Famous Fem! Wonder Woman by Steve Korte'


HER NAME WAS DIANA AND SHE WAS ON A MISSION TO SAVE THE WORLD.

Before Diana the Warrior Princess, daughter of Zeus and Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons, rescues downed aviator Steve Trevor in a battle with the Nazis, she has never seen a man. On an island of women, trained under her aunt, Antiope, Diana uses her strength and courage to rescue the injured pilot, learning from him that the outside world is engaged in a great war.

As Diana Prince, she travels with Steve to London to join in the forces fighting to end the war, using her speed, strength, and skill to fight the foe and becomes known as Wonder Woman, the world's first female superhero.

In Steve Korte's I-Can-Read Wonder Woman: I Am an Amazon Warrior (I Can Read Level 2) (Harper, 2017), kids can read for themselves the story featured in the recently released blockbuster movie, Wonder Woman. Korte' tells well the story behind the first woman superhero who made her debut in DC comics in 1941 on the brink of World War II. Like Superman before her, Diana Prince chooses to live incognito, but with her bullet-stopping bracelets, Lasso of Truth, and famed lightning-fast reflexes, Diana Prince also morphs into Wonder Woman, fabulous bustier, high-heeled boots and all, to save the world from evil whenever needed.

Since the new Wonder Woman movie is rated PG-13, this book is the next-best introduction to America's super woman, a founding mother of the Justice League, and gives young readers an opportunity to be up on the latest movie and keep their super-reader skills up to superhero levels at the same time.
