The Amazon Princess and the Pea

By Laurie S. Sutton, Agnes Garbowska and Silvana Brys

Wonder Woman is ready to fight off the monsters overrunning a remote island kingdom. But there’s a problem. The leaders are unimpressed with the Amazon Princess and unconvinced she’s the true hero they need. What’s worse, Wonder Woman recognizes the attacking creatures are actually Beastiamorphs, created by her nemesis Circe. Yet there’s no sign of the sorceress. The only clue is a strange, pea-sized stone that’s been hidden under the bed . . . Can Wonder Woman find the key to ending Circe’s spells and prove she’s a real hero? In this twisted retelling, DC super heroes and super-villains collide with The Princess and the Pea fairy tale to create an action-packed chapter book for kids!
