As Wonder Woman leaves Paradise Island to spread the Amazons' message of peace and justice, trouble erupts the world over. She suspects that Ares, the god of war, is to blame for this dark shadow of hatred. Now the Amazon Princess must use all the tools at her command -- her Golden Lasso of Truth, her silver bracelets, and, most important of all, her great wisdom and quick mind. But is she powerful enough to defeat the menace of Ares and restore peace to Mortals' World?
I gave this book to my 3rd grader because I like how Wonder Woman conveys the message that women can be intelligent, strong, and capable. However, I was disappointed in the level of mythology in this book. In the old Wonder Woman TV series, the mythology and worship of Greek gods seemed to be rare, but in this book, it is the focus of the plot.
