Tomorrow marks the release of DC Comics latest young adult graphic novel, Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed. The book takes a fantastic, contemporary look at the origin story of Diana Prince in a climate which is rife with racial injustice.
Written by Laurie Halse Anderson, the New York Times bestselling author of Twisted, the book also features stunning illustrations from artist Leila Del Duca.
Princess Diana of Themyscira believes that her 16th birthday will be one of new beginnings—namely, acceptance into the warrior tribe of the Amazons. But her birthday celebrations are cut short when rafts carrying refugees break through the barrier that separates her island home from the outside world. When Diana defies the Amazons to try to bring the outsiders to safety, she finds herself swept away by the stormy sea. Cut off from everything she’s ever known, Diana herself becomes a refugee in an unfamiliar land.
Now, Diana must survive in the world beyond Themyscira for the first time—a world that is filled with danger and injustice unlike anything she’s ever experienced. With new battles to be fought and new friends to be made, she must redefine what it means to belong, to be an Amazon and to make a difference.
