Review:

Gal Gadot, best known for playing the title role in Wonder Woman, grew up a long way from Hollywood. Born and raised in Israel, she became a confident, athletic young woman who represented her country in the Miss Universe pageant before serving two years in the military, where she taught gymnastics and led workouts. While attending university and modeling, she acted in an Israeli TV series. She appeared in several films, from Fast & Furious to Batman v Superman, before starring in Wonder Woman in 2017. Full of praise fro Gadot and her ability to inspire girls as "a strong, female role model," Sherman writes in a clear, accessible style. Like other Gateway Biography series, this colorful volume offers glimpses of Gadot's life and her movies in the color photos that appear on almost every page. Readers looking for information about Wonder Woman and Gadot will find this timely and very positive account of the actress' life.
