Editorial Reviews

This graphic novel focuses on Wonder Woman's crime-fighting skills and athletic prowess as she takes on mysterious burglaries and missing person reports with the local police. It's a strange coincidence indeed that all the people disappeared after visiting the Bartleby Brothers' Circus. This is a great choice for reluctant readers, particularly girls, with hi-lo vocabulary and a strong female lead. The back matter includes a brief glossary, discussion questions, and writing prompts. http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/slj/newslettersnewsletterbucketextrahelping2/888980-477/remarkable_reads_the_big_top.html.csp
