Kanga-U: Tricks and Transformation

Mythological menaces? Trouble between friends? And a mysterious threat to the Amazons, the kangas, and even the Greek gods?

Having escaped the infamous Labyrinth with some monster friends in tow, the Kanga Krew and the Amazons have temporarily settled the dangerous creatures on Transformation Island. But Themyscira is divided over what to do next with their recently acquired neighbors. As tension fills the air, the stage is set for kanga-monium…and that’s exactly what erupts when a series of mystical artifacts go missing from Themyscira. The Amazons are sure the new arrivals are to blame, while the creatures protest their innocence. But fewer and fewer of the Amazons believe them. Even the kangas are divided—especially when one of the Amazons is attacked…

Who is really behind it all? Can Jumpa and her friends learn to trust each other, and themselves, to unravel the mystery?
