Description

"Packed with laughs, legends and just the right amount of chaos – I loved it!" – Tom Vaughan, author of Hercules: the Diary of a (Sort of) Hero "A laugh-a-minute hair-raiser of hilarity, brimming with character and brilliantly illustrated; you HAVE to read this one!" – Alex Foulkes Twelve-year-old Meddy Gordon has serious anger issues... In this hilarious book for middle-grade readers, Meddy rants about  family and friendships, using her diary as a way of letting out her anger and keeping her emotions in check.  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 Loki and Lottie Brooks. Funny and fantastic illustrations by Katie Abey who has illustrated over fifty books for children.  MORE PRAISE FOR MEDUSA GORGON'S BAD HAIR DAY “I gobbled up Medusa's diary. It's gripping, fun and children are going to love the abundant illustrations. [...] Bravo Bethany Walker: that's storytelling worthy of the Gods.” – Jenny McLachlan "Guaranteed to make you snort out loud at least once per page and with loads of mythological facts so your teachers can't complain!" – Lisette Auton "This is a very funny story ... a relatable 12-year-old, dealing with friendship issues and school troubles." – BookTrust
