It includes lessons on jailbreaking, not how to do it, but why it’s good and why it’s bad. It gets into privacy violations, and when is a good time, and not a good time to share everything with friends and strangers. The artwork is like an acid trip: full of colors and strang creations. Overall

The story unfolds a bit predictably, but it is still entirely pleasing. I'm hoping for another adventure by the same creative team in the near future.

Diana is a princess on Themyscira, the hidden paradisiacal island nation exclusively inhabited by immortal women. Being a princess or being destined for a career in superheroics weren’t the only things that made young Diana unique there, though. She was also the only kid. The result of a

“It seems like I’m either too old or too young for everything,” Diana thinks.
An idea strikes. If mama could make a child out of clay, why can’t I make a friend? So, she creates Mona out of left over clay and sand.
Very soon we notice that Mona is not a good influence on Diana.
What starts as child-like mischief and innocent secret-keeping becomes pranks, lying and, by the adventure’s climax, a threat to all of Themyscira, if not the world itself.

Diana is only kid on amazon island. Makes a friend out of clay and sand who gets her into big trouble. It's a cute read for a short book, with a solid message.

If you've read Hale(s) before, you know this will have humor, warmth and a dose of hard love thrown in. This Diana isn't Wonder Woman yet, she's a young girl on an island of adults who wants to sometimes not be an adult. She wants to goof off and skip school and play tricks.
She wants to be a kid.
