Medusa Gorgons Bad Hair Day - Bethany Walker, Scholastic

&amp,nbsp, Twelve-year-old Meddy Gordon has serious anger issues. In this hilarious book for middle-grade readers, Meddy rants about&amp,nbsp, family and friendships, using her diary as a way of letting out her anger and keeping her emotions in check.&amp,nbsp, So far, so normal. You know the kind of thing: frustrations with her self-absorbed sisters, problems with idiotic classmates, disagreements with pompous teachers, and, of course, her troubles dealing with the occasional flock of owls, swarms of snakes, or even the odd many-headed dog.And then there's the small problem of the snake hair that appears if she doesn't control her anger... You see, Meddy Gordon is not actually from the twenty-first century. She is, in fact, a human from ancient Greece and she has made a powerful enemy.Meddy G is MEDUSA and she just happens to have angered Athena, the goddess of war. And what happens when the goddess of war is on the warpath? You get a bad day. A very bad day indeed.Meddy Gorgon is loosly based on the famous Greek myth of Medusa, ideal for young fans of Greek mythology! A highly illustrated book, great for fans of Hercules: the Diary of a (sort of) Hero and Lottie Brooks. Funny and fantastic illustrations by Katie Abey who has illustrated over fifty books for children.&amp,nbsp,
