Editorial Reviews

"She-Ra and the Princesses of Power lets kids know that they can be anything they can dream of being... A love of reading begins by recognizing yourself and your endless possibilities through a character in a book, so I hope kids will see themselves in She-Ra, Glimmer, and Bow, and be inspired to find their own superpower within." — Noelle Stevenson, Executive Producer, She-Ra and the Princesses of PowerPraise for She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix:"The new Netflix series updates the '80s swordtech cartoon into a heroically right-now parable about empowered women teamworking against terror. The result is a funny-wonderful pop fantasy animated like disco fireworks, fun for kids of all genders and any parents looking for something happy to cry about." — Entertainment Weekly
