I've had to read this one to my 5-year-old a few times now. Thankfully he seems to be tiring of it. Ryancar is a very odd name for a country.

WW teams up with Gorilla Grodd (and Poison Ivy), a super intelligent highly evolved giant gorilla who wants to take over the world. But they work together to defeat a common enemy, who is destroying the rainforest. I read it in one sitting today. it was good because it showed that even if we don’t like one another we can work together toward a common goal that is beneficial to the world.

Making some shelf space by passing along some of the super hero books.
Discussion questions in the back were good.

Reason for Reading: This book is too hard for my ds to read on his own and will be read aloud by dh as a bedtime book. But I like my superheroes too and wasn't going to miss out on the fun!
The plot involves a man known for his ruthless business tactics, no matter the harm done to human or nature in the process, who is being honoured for running a plant which makes drinkable water from ocean water on a small rainforest island country. Princess Diana is one of the delegates at the ceremony and she senses this man has not turned over a new leaf. She goes into Wonder Woman mode and discovers that his water treatment facility is just a facade for a much more evil business which is ruining the rainforest in the process. While she is out in the jungle she runs upon two enemies fighting each other: Gorilla Grodd and Poison Ivy. She manages to convince them that while they are not all on the same team, this time they are all on the same side; that of the rainforest.
Personally, I find eco-fiction a little tiring these days but am at least glad to see that this book deals with a real issue that once made headlines but no longer seems as media-worthy these days. Aside from that, I loved the action! What fun to have not one, but two super-villains show up in a story. Particularly Poison Ivy who is a personal favourite female villain. Somehow I've missed meeting Gorilla Grodd before but he adds a high dose of masculinity to the story for boys as do the eventual robots they all end up fighting at the water treatment centre.
Written and illustrated by comic industry professionals, the story and characters all have an authentic feel. Each chapter has at least one full page illustration, some even have two, the pages of pure text are broken up for the reader by using comic book style graphics, in colour, for all the sound effect words. This nicely breaks up a two page spread of text which may otherwise seem daunting to reluctant readers. Great comic action in a chapter book.

This is a charming and interesting story that has Wonder Woman joining forces with Gorilla Grodd and Poison Ivy to stop the destruction to a part of the rainforest. I love the artwork it's in the style of the Bruce Timm animated universe.
