Medusa Gorgon's Bad Hair Day New Get 20% OFF across the Scholastic Shop by Bethany Walker (author)

“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.
