Book:
The teenage Wonder Woman is an Amazon princess and warrior and has never left her home on Paradise Island.
She craves to be the best super hero she can and enrolls at Superhero High, but she wasn’t prepared for high school life and what it brings.
Wonder Woman juggles intense training, new friendships and an over-sharing roommate.
The Superhero High takes us on an adventure with Wonder Woman and introduces us to various other well-known superheros in their teenage years.
The story is captivating, well-written and your average teenage girl (minus the superpowers, of course) will be able to completely relate.
DC SuperHero Girls’ series is solely targeting girls and this, obviously, would not interest boys of any age.
Teenagers and even young adults will find this book difficult to put down.
Sticker activity book:
Fitting in with the book’s theme, the DC SuperHero Girls’ series goes with a sticker activity book filled with crossword puzzles, riddles and various other activities of Superhero High.
A double page spread filled with stickers allows for more fun activities, pasting the stickers with their allocated spots throughout the books.
If you haven’t read the book first, finding the correct sticker might prove a challenge.
Scribble book:
The trio is completed with a DC SuperHero Girls’ Scribble Book of about 160 pages of various goals.
Colour-in, diarise thoughts, create your own superhero outfit, draw, fill in the blanks and many more activities will provide you with hours and hours of entertainment.
Again, you need to read the story first to understand what is happening in the scribble book or else the theme and ideas will go over your head.
